select the correct answer.
what is the simplified form of the expression (x + 6)(7x - 1)?
7x² + 43x - 6
8x² + 5
7x² + 41x - 6
7x² - 6

Explanation:

Step1: Apply distributive property (FOIL)

Multiply each term: $x(7x) + x(-1) + 6(7x) + 6(-1)$
$=7x^2 -x +42x -6$

Step2: Combine like terms

$-x +42x =41x$
$=7x^2 +41x -6$

Answer:

7x² + 41x - 6
