Problem 25
Question
Use an associative property to rewrite each algebraic expression. Once the grouping has been changed, simplify the resulting algebraic expression. $$7(4 x)$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
\(7(4x)\) can be rewritten and simplified to \(28x\) using the associative property of multiplication.
1Step 1: Implement Associative Property
We will start by implementing the associative Property by opening the parentheses: \(7(4x) = (7*4)x\)
2Step 2: Simplify the Resulting Expression
Now, multiply 7 and 4 to get 28. Therefore, the expression becomes: \(28x\).
