Answer 1

ANSWER

$35x+20$

EXPLANATION

We want to simplify the expression given by using the distributive property:

$5(7x+4)$

To do this, we use the number outside the bracket to multiply each of the terms in the bracket.

That is:

$\begin{gathered} (5\cdot7x)+(5\cdot4) \\ 35x+20 \end{gathered}$

That is the answer.
