Question

How do you simplify `7+2 (4x - 3)`?

Answer 1

The answer is `8x+1`

Explanation:

First you have to multiply each number in the parenthesis with the number 2, because that is the number directly in front of it

(remember, when you have a - and a + they become -).

You than end up with `7+8x-6`

Then you can finish by subtracting 6 from 7 to get 1. You can't change the 8x because you don't know which number the x stands for.
