remove the parentheses and simplify 4(2a-3b)+a-7

OpenStudy (capture):

expand the brackets out then collect the lie terms ie 8a - 12b + a - 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why dont you add 8a and a to make it 9a?

OpenStudy (capture):

I just did the one step - remove the parenthesis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is 9a-12b-7 an acceptable answer?

OpenStudy (capture):

Just noticed my typo I meant to say collect like terms, seems like you've worked it out

OpenStudy (capture):

Yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you
