Question

distributive property combined like term.... 3(x+2)+14-7x

Answer 1

First you would distribute the 3. So it would be (3x+6)+14+7x. Since you can’t do anything inside the parentheses, you drop them. Then you’d combine like terms. 3x+7x is 10x, and 14+6 is 20. That would get you your answer, 10x+20
