Yes, you are correct. The distributive property states that for any real numbers a, b, and c, a(b + c) = ab + ac. In this case, the expression is 4(x + 7), so we can distribute the 4 to both terms inside the parentheses, resulting in 4x + 28. If we want to reverse this process, we can factor out the greatest common factor, which is 4, from both terms, resulting in 4(x + 7).
