Question

n simplest terms: -7(-3t + 5) + 4t
r attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Distribute -7

Using the distributive property \(a(b + c)=ab+ac\), we have \(-7(-3t + 5)=(-7)\times(-3t)+(-7)\times5 = 21t-35\)

Step2: Combine like terms

Now we add \(4t\) to the result from Step 1: \(21t-35 + 4t=(21t + 4t)-35=25t-35\)

Answer:

\(25t - 35\)
