Answer: (C)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the expression to simplify: \$7(x - 3) + 10$.
2. Apply the distributive property by multiplying 7 with each term inside the parentheses: \(7 \times x\) and \(7 \times (-3)\), which gives \$7x - 21$.
3. Rewrite the expression after distribution: \$7x - 21 + 10$.
4. Combine like terms by adding the constants \(-21\) and \$10$ together.
5. Write the simplified expression as \$7x$ plus the result of the combined constants.
