Use the distributive property to expand this expression. See details below

Explanation:

For the distributive property we will multiply color(red)(8) by each term within the parenthesis:

(color(red)(8) xx -10x) + (color(red)(8) xx 3.5y) + (color(red)(8) xx -7)

-80x + 28y + (-56)

-80x + 28y - 56
