4(-x+7)
-4x+28
4x=28
4x/4=28/4
x=7
The above solution is correct, if you assume that the equation was
4(-x+7) = 0
Is that the case?
I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.
To simplify the expression 4(-x+7), you can distribute the 4 across the terms inside the parentheses using the distributive property. Multiply 4 by each term individually:
4 * -x + 4 * 7
This gives you:
-4x + 28
Therefore, the simplified expression is -4x + 28.
