7(4W - 3)- 25W
.
Following the rule for distributive multiplication tells you to multiply the 7 by each
of the terms inside the parentheses. When you do that distributive multiplication the
given polynomial becomes:
.
(7*4W) - (7*3) - 25W
.
which simplifies to:
.
28W - (21) - 25W
.
This further simplifies to:
.
28W - 21 - 25W
.
The two terms that contain W can be combined which results in:
.
(28W - 25W) - 21
.
3W - 21
.
3W - 21 is the simplified form of what you were originally given to simplify.
.
Hope this helps you to see how you do distributive multiplication and combine terms
after that to simplify the result.
