Evaluate the following expressions.

Respuesta :

Answer:

a. 4x + 8

b. -40 - 5x

c. 7x - 21

Step-by-step explanation:

    The distributive property says that A(B + C) = AB + AC. We will use this to simplify the given expressions.

a. 4(x+2)

4 * x + 4 * 2

4x + 8

b. -5(9+x)

-5 * 9 + -5 * x

-40 - 5x

c. 7(x-3)

7 * x + 7 * -3

7x - 21
