The expression below can be written in simplest form as
4(2x-5)+7(x+2)

4(2x-5)+7(x+2)

bracket means multiplying

do 4(2x+5) first

4*2x=8x

4*-5=-20

7*x=7x

7*2=14

8x-20+7x+14

do the x first

8x+7x=15x

-20+14=-6

answers: 15x-6 or -6+15x

true statements:

a) x + y = y + x   ⇒ commutative property of addition

b) (x * y) * z = x * (y * z) ⇒ associative property of multiplication

d) (x + y) + z = x + (y + z) ⇒ associative property of addition

false statements:

c) x - y = y - x   should be: x - y = - y + x

e) (x - y) - z = x - (y - z) should be: (x - y) - z = x - (y + z)
