hope it helps have a great day

Answer is option C

Answer is c) 128

I added the step by step process in the pic attached, I don't know how to explain it very well but you can use binomial theorem for (3x-1)^7

Then you can add up all the coefficients of the calculated values as the question mentions afterwards a^7 + a^6 +..... which means it only wants you to add up the coefficients of the consecutive x terms, otherwise it would say a^7x^7 + a^6x^6 +..... and so on

Hope this helps :)

I’m pretty sure the * means multiplication. so, if you multiply 5*1, it would equal 5. they are basically are-writing 5x1 as 5*1. so they would be… 5 10152025303540455055
