Q. Rewrite in simplest terms: 7(−0.3v+8v+1)−vAnswer:
Distribute Terms: Distribute the 7 into each term inside the parentheses.7×(−0.3v)=−2.1v7×8v=56v7×1=7So, 7(−0.3v+8v+1) becomes −2.1v+56v+7.
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms from the distribution with the term outside the parentheses.−2.1v+56v=53.9vNow, subtract v from 53.9v.53.9v−v=52.9v
Add Constant Term: Add the constant term to the simplified variable term.52.9v+7There are no like terms with 7, so this is the final simplified expression.
