Answer 1

To solve this question using the distributive property is just to expand the given expression by using the multiplication and subtraction operations respectively thus:

$7(4n-9)-3(n-7)$

Expanding further will give:

$28n-63-3n+21$

Collecting like terms:

$\begin{gathered} 28n-3n-63+21 \\ 25n-42 \end{gathered}$

The final equivalent expression is: 25n - 42.
