Question

Use the distributive property to simplify the following expression
7(5b+8)

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\boxed{35b+56}}`

Explanation:

Hello.

The Distributive Property states that

a(b+c)=ab+ac

Simplify:

7(5b+8)

7 times 5b plus 7 times 8

35b+56

And we're done, because 35b and 56 are not like terms.

I hope it helps & have an outstanding day!
