    We start off with our equation:

    7b-3 (b-1)

    Following the order of operations, we will deal with the parenthesis first.

    7b-3 (b-1)

    Using the distributive property, we multiply each term in the parenthesis by 3.

    7b - (3b) - (3*1)

    7b-3b-3

    Now we will simplify the rest of the expression.

    We can see that '7b' and '3b' are like terms. Therefore, we can combine them.

    7b-3b-3

    4b-3

    In the equation, we no longer have any more like terms. We cannot simplify it any more.

    The simplest form of 7b-3 (b-1) is 4b-3.

    4b-3 ... you use distributive property and multiply 3*b-1 then you have 7b-3b-3 then you combine like terms and subtract 3b from 7b and get 4b-3
