Question

$$7(x-4)-3(2x-5)$$

Evaluate

$x-13$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply $7$ by $x-4$.

$$7x-28-3\left(2x-5\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $-3$ by $2x-5$.

$$7x-28-6x+15$$

Combine $7x$ and $-6x$ to get $x$.

$$x-28+15$$

Add $-28$ and $15$ to get $-13$.

$$x-13$$

Expand
