Exercise 8 Page 723

Be careful with negatives when distributing.

6x-42

Practice makes perfect

We will begin simplifying by distributing the 6 to the terms inside the parentheses.

6(x-7)

Distribute 6

6x+6(- 7)

a(- b)=- a * b

6x-42

Since 6x and - 42 are not like terms, the expression cannot be simplified any further.
