hello!

=======================================================

The Distributive Property states the following:-

[tex]\longrightarrow\sf{a(b+c)=ab+ac[/tex]

Where

[tex]\longrightarrow\sf{a,~b,~and~c~can~be~either~constants~or~variables}[/tex]

Now, let's use this property to simplify our expressions.

The first one is

[tex]\bigstar{\underline{\boxed{{4(x+2)}}}[/tex]

Simplify by distributing 4:-

[tex]\longrightarrow\sf{4~times~x~+4~times~2}[/tex]

Add the products:-

[tex]\longrightarrow\sf{4x+8}[/tex]

[tex]\rule{250}{2}[/tex]

Solve the next one:-

[tex]\bigstar{\underline{\boxed{\sf{-5(9+x)}}}[/tex]

Distribute -5 & add the products:-

[tex]\longrightarrow\sf{-45-5x}[/tex]

[tex]\rule{250}{2}[/tex]

Solve the last one:-

[tex]\bigstar{\underline{\boxed{7(x-3)}}[/tex]

Distribute 7:-

[tex]\longrightarrow\sf{7x-21}[/tex]
