simplify the expression

4(7-2q) +9q

Jose if I am not mistake the solution to your question is

4(7-2q) +9q
28 - 8q +9q
28 + q

Jose, Mary is correct.

To simplify the expression 4(7-2q) + 9q, we can distribute the 4 to the terms inside the parentheses:

4 * 7 - 4 * 2q + 9q

This simplifies to:

28 - 8q + 9q

Next, we can combine like terms (terms with the same variable):

28 + (-8q + 9q)

The -8q and 9q can be combined to give:

28 + q

So, the simplified expression is 28 + q.
