Answer

$35n-63$

Work Step by Step

To find the area of a rectangle, we multiply the length and the width, giving us 7(5n-9). The distributive property allows us to distribute anything multiplied by something inside of the parenthesis to whatever is inside of the parenthesis. Thus, we distribute the 7 to everything inside the parenthesis, giving us the expression 35n-63.
