Question:

use the distributiveproperty to removethe parentheses in the expression. Simplify by combining like terms. 7(4w-3)-25w

Answer:
7 ( 4w - 3 )- 25w
use the distributive property to remove the parentheses in the expression.

==> 7 *4w - 7* 3 - 25w

==> 28 w - 21 - 25w

Now combine the like terms( That is the terms which contain the same variable, here like terms are 28w and 25w)

==> 28 w - 25w - 21

==> (28 w - 25w) - 21

==> 3w - 21,

Here you can simplify further by taking out the common term from both

==> 3(w - 7 ), which is the simplified form

Hope you found the explanation useful.

Regards.
