Which expression is equivalent to -  3  (  -  7  +  2x  )=?

A:21-6x           B:  21+2x          C:  21+6x          D:  -  21  -  6x

Short Answer

Expert verified

Correct Option is A.

Step by step solution

01

Step-1 – What are real numbers? 

Real numbers are simply the combination of Whole numbers, Integers, Rational and Irrational numbers in the number system.

02

Step-2 – Distributive Property of Multiplication 

Suppose a, b, and c is three real numbers.

Distributive Property of Multiplication

Property: -a  (b  -  c  )  =  (-a ) ·  b -  (-a ) ·  c 

Example: -3  (8  -  5  )  =  (-3 ) ·  8 -   (-3 ) ·  5  =  -24+15=-  9

03

Step-3:  Use the distributive property to evaluate the expression.

We know that double negative is always positive. (-  3  ) ·  (-  7  )  =21

Distributive Property of Multiplication

Property: -a  (b  -  c  )  =  (-a ) ·  b -  (-a ) ·  c 

− â¶Ä‰3(− â¶Ä‰7 + 2x)= â¶Ä‰(− â¶Ä‰3 â¶Ä‰) · â¶Ä‰(− â¶Ä‰7 â¶Ä‰)+ â¶Ä‰(− 3) â¶Ä‰Â·â€‰â¶Ä‰2x â¶Ä‰= â¶Ä‰21 â¶Ä‰âˆ’ â¶Ä‰6x â¶Ä‰âˆ’ â¶Ä‰3(− â¶Ä‰7 + 2x)= â¶Ä‰â€‰â¶Ä‰21 â¶Ä‰âˆ’ â¶Ä‰6x â¶Ä‰
