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 \( 7\times(-2)+7\times h \).

Step2: Calculate each term

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

Answer:

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