Im taking my algebra 1 final exam today... I'm nervous. Any advice? (I'm an 8th grader taking algebra and its challenging to me)

Two cars which are 40 miles apart start moving simultaneously in the same direction with constant speeds. if the speed of the car which is behind is 56 mph and the speed of the other car is 48 mph, how many hours will it take for the car which is behind to catch up the car ahead of it?

How do i put 3(x+7) in distributive property

Can you me with this question? i'll reward *30 points i just need with this one question so that i could solve the others. * edit: i originally set up the question to reward 30 points, but for some reason i can only reward 15. if you don't get 30, then i'm sorry. i'm still kind of new to this site
