Answer:
[tex]-4-5x[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We can simplify the expression:
[tex]4(1-3x)+7x-8[/tex]
with the following steps:
1) Apply the distributive property:
[tex]a(b+c) = ab + ac[/tex]
Our expression becomes:
[tex]4-4(3x)+7x-8[/tex]
[tex]=4-12x+7x-8[/tex]
2) Combine like terms:
[tex](4-8) + (7x - 12x)[/tex]
[tex]= \boxed{-4 - 5x}[/tex]
