▼
To solve the given problems, we will use the distributive property and simplify each expression step by step. The distributive property states:

\[
a(b + c) = ab + ac
\]

Let's go through each problem systematically.

---

Problem 1: \( 3(5n + 2) - 4n \)



1. Distribute \( 3 \) across \( (5n + 2) \):
\[
3(5n + 2) = 3 \cdot 5n + 3 \cdot 2 = 15n + 6
\]
2. Subtract \( 4n \):
\[
15n + 6 - 4n = (15n - 4n) + 6 = 11n + 6
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{11n + 6}
\]

---

Problem 2: \( 8 + 7(4 + 2b) \)



1. Distribute \( 7 \) across \( (4 + 2b) \):
\[
7(4 + 2b) = 7 \cdot 4 + 7 \cdot 2b = 28 + 14b
\]
2. Add \( 8 \):
\[
8 + 28 + 14b = 36 + 14b
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{36 + 14b}
\]

---

Problem 3: \( 2(1 - 9v) - 9v \)



1. Distribute \( 2 \) across \( (1 - 9v) \):
\[
2(1 - 9v) = 2 \cdot 1 + 2 \cdot (-9v) = 2 - 18v
\]
2. Subtract \( 9v \):
\[
2 - 18v - 9v = 2 - 27v
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{2 - 27v}
\]

---

Problem 4: \( 8x - 7(x + 7) \)



1. Distribute \( -7 \) across \( (x + 7) \):
\[
-7(x + 7) = -7 \cdot x + (-7) \cdot 7 = -7x - 49
\]
2. Combine with \( 8x \):
\[
8x - 7x - 49 = (8x - 7x) - 49 = x - 49
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{x - 49}
\]

---

Problem 5: \( -8(6 - 7n) + 5n \)



1. Distribute \( -8 \) across \( (6 - 7n) \):
\[
-8(6 - 7n) = -8 \cdot 6 + (-8) \cdot (-7n) = -48 + 56n
\]
2. Add \( 5n \):
\[
-48 + 56n + 5n = -48 + 61n
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{-48 + 61n}
\]

---

Problem 6: \( 4 - 4(-6a - 7) \)



1. Distribute \( -4 \) across \( (-6a - 7) \):
\[
-4(-6a - 7) = -4 \cdot (-6a) + (-4) \cdot (-7) = 24a + 28
\]
2. Subtract from \( 4 \):
\[
4 + 24a + 28 = 24a + 32
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{24a + 32}
\]

---

Problem 7: \( -4(-20 + 7k) + 6(-9 - k) \)



1. Distribute \( -4 \) across \( (-20 + 7k) \):
\[
-4(-20 + 7k) = -4 \cdot (-20) + (-4) \cdot 7k = 80 - 28k
\]
2. Distribute \( 6 \) across \( (-9 - k) \):
\[
6(-9 - k) = 6 \cdot (-9) + 6 \cdot (-k) = -54 - 6k
\]
3. Combine the results:
\[
80 - 28k - 54 - 6k = (80 - 54) + (-28k - 6k) = 26 - 34k
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{26 - 34k}
\]

---

Problem 8: \( -17(1 + 16p) + 3(15p - 10) \)



1. Distribute \( -17 \) across \( (1 + 16p) \):
\[
-17(1 + 16p) = -17 \cdot 1 + (-17) \cdot 16p = -17 - 272p
\]
2. Distribute \( 3 \) across \( (15p - 10) \):
\[
3(15p - 10) = 3 \cdot 15p + 3 \cdot (-10) = 45p - 30
\]
3. Combine the results:
\[
-17 - 272p + 45p - 30 = (-17 - 30) + (-272p + 45p) = -47 - 227p
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{-47 - 227p}
\]

---

Problem 9: \( -14(7x - 9) - 19(x - 3) \)



1. Distribute \( -14 \) across \( (7x - 9) \):
\[

\]
2. Distribute \( -19 \) across \( (x - 3) \):
\[
-19(x - 3) = -19 \cdot x + (-19) \cdot (-3) = -19x + 57
\]
3. Combine the results:
\[
-98x + 126 - 19x + 57 = (-98x - 19x) + (126 + 57) = -117x + 183
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{-117x + 183}
\]

\]
3. Combine the results:
\[
7n + 140 + 13 - 260n = (7n - 260n) + (140 + 13) = -253n + 153
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{-253n + 153}
\]

---

Problem 11: \( 16(2 - 7m) - 8(5m + 3) \)

\]
2. Distribute \( -8 \) across \( (5m + 3) \):
\[
-8(5m + 3) = -8 \cdot 5m + (-8) \cdot 3 = -40m - 24
\]
3. Combine the results:
\[
32 - 112m - 40m - 24 = (32 - 24) + (-112m - 40m) = 8 - 152m
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{8 - 152m}
\]
