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.
