Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses. 1. 3(8 + x)
2. 7(v - 2)
3. 3(v - 9)

1. 24 + x

2. 7v - 14

3. 3v - 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property means that you go through something by either multiplying or dividing by whatever may be in the parentheses.

1. For one you would multiply the 3 through. 3 x 8 + 3x which can be simplified into 24 + 3x.

2. For two you would multiply the 7 through. 7v - 7 x 2, which can be simplified into 7v - 14.

3. For three you would multiply the 3 through. 3v - 3 x 9, which can be simplified into 3v - 27

Hope this helps!
