Respuesta :

distribute the 7 outside of the parenthesis to 5b and 7, which would make the equation simplified to 35b + 49. (multiplication.)

It is asking you to distribute the 7 to the values in the parentheses.

7(5b + 7)

First distribute the 7 into 5b (7·5b), this will give you 35b

Next distribute the 7 to the 7 (7·7), this will give you 49

Your final answer would be: 35b+49
