Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf{20}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello.

Multiply 4 times 7 and -2:

4*7=28

4*(-2)=8

Write the expression together:

28-8

Are 28 and -8 like terms? Sure, because they are both constants; they are from the same family (family of constants).

Therefore, this expression can be simplified:

20

There's another way to consider it.

And that is:

• Subtracting 7-2 and multiplying the result by 4.
• The result will be 20 anyway :)

And we're done!

I hope it helps & have an outstanding day!
