For this case we must find an expression equivalent to:
[tex]8 (-10x + 3.5y-7) =[/tex]
We apply distributive property to each of the terms within the parentheses, then:
[tex]8 * (- 10x) + 8 * (3.5y) +8 * (- 7) =\\-80x + 28y-56[/tex]
Finally, an equivalent expression is:
[tex]-80x + 28y-56[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]-80x + 28y-56[/tex]
