Let's start with the problem: 4(x-7x)
The first step that needs to occur is distribution, also known as distributing. Distributing involves multiplying the number on the outside of the parenthesis by each of the numbers inside of the parenthesis.
In this case, you would multiply 4 and x, as well as 4 and -7x.
You end up with 4x-28x, and when you subtract 28x from 4x, you get -24x as your final answer.
