Hey there!
The Distributive property states the following:
a(b+c)=ab+ac
Where
a, b, and c can be either constants (numbers) or variables (letters)
Now, simplify by multiplying 7 times the terms inside the parentheses:
7(8+x+2)
7 times 8=56
7 times x=7x
7 times 2=14
so we have
56+7x+14
combine like terms
7x+70
Hence, the simplified expression is
[tex]\boxed{\boxed{\bold{7x+70}}}[/tex]
Hope everything is clear.
Let me know if you have any questions!
