① | Multiply $ \color{blue}{3} $ by $ \left( 2a-4t+7\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{3} \cdot \left( 2a-4t+7\right) = 6a-12t+21 $$ |
② | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{a} + \color{red}{5t} + \color{green}{1} + \color{blue}{6a} \color{red}{-12t} + \color{green}{21} = \color{blue}{7a} \color{red}{-7t} + \color{green}{22} $$ |
