please refrain from giving direct answers. thank you!

Answer 4

but, the equation is \[3(x+7) +10\]
this can already eliminate option A seeing as there is no subtraction sign (there is no difference)

then the parenthesis are around the x+7, meaning it is going to be 3 times whatever is in the parenthesis.

does this make sense?
