how to do this

This is distributive property and to do distributive property, you distribute what is outside of the parenthesis to the numbers inside the parenthesis.

How-to-do:

2(8x-7)

2(8x) - 2(7)

16x-14

if you mean to simplify :

2(8x−7)

=(2)(8x+−7)

=(2)(8x)+(2)(−7)

=16x−14

(d)

step-by-step explanation:

given: the line in the graph passes through points (5,30) and (6,26).

then, the equation of line is:

now, put y=a(n) and x=n,

hence, option d is correct.
