Question

simplify the expression:
7(-2 + h) =
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Apply distributive property

Use the distributive property \(a(b + c)=ab+ac\), here \(a = 7\), \(b=-2\), \(c = h\). So we have \(7\times(-2)+7\times h\).

Step2: Calculate each term

Calculate \(7\times(-2)=- 14\) and \(7\times h = 7h\). Then combine the terms: \(-14 + 7h\) or \(7h-14\).

Answer:

\(7h - 14\) (or \(-14 + 7h\))
