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