Question

Subtract: (4X -1)from 4(5 X +7)

Answer 1

In order to subtract (4x-1) from 4(5x+7), we first need to use the distributive property of multiplication:

`a(b+c)=ab+ac`

So, to calculate the subtraction, we can do the following steps:

`\begin{gathered} 4(5x+7)-(4x-1)\\ \\ =4\cdot5x+4\cdot7-4x+1\\ \\ =20x+28-4x+1\\ \\ =16x+29 \end{gathered}`

Therefore the result is 16x + 29.
