6. simplify using the distributive property: 4(2x + 7)

Explanation:

Step1: Apply distributive property

The distributive property states that (a(b + c)=ab+ac). For (4(2x + 7)), we distribute 4 to both (2x) and 7. So, (4\times2x+4\times7)

Step2: Calculate the products

Calculate (4\times2x = 8x) and (4\times7=28). Then we get (8x + 28)

Answer:

(8x + 28)
