Question

Use the Distributive Property to write each expression as an equivalent algebraic expression.

(7 + a)3

Answer 1

(7 + a)3 is equal to 21 + 3a

Explanation:

The distributive property involves multiplying everything inside of the parenthesis by what's directly outside of it. Therefore, we have:

(7 * 3) + (a * 3) = 21 + 3a
