EXPLANATION:
1. To apply the distributive property the number that is outside the parentheses must multiply the values that are inside the parentheses.

Applying the distributive property is as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 7(13+12) \\ 7(13)+7(12) \\ 91+84 \\ 175 \\ \text{The answer is 175} \end{gathered}[/tex]
