-35 + x is the simplified expression

Solution:

Given expression is:

-7(8 - 3) + x

We have to use the distributive property

By distributive property,

a(b + c) = ab + ac

Therefore,

[tex]-7(8 - 3) + x = (-7 \times 8) + (-7 \times -3) + x\\\\-7(8 - 3) + x = -56 + 21 + x\\\\Combine\ constants\\\\-7(8 - 3) + x = -35+x[/tex]

Thus, distributive property is used to simplify the expression
