Following the order of operations, what does the grouped expression (4 + 3) times 7 simplify to?

1. The parentheses must be simplified first, so add 4 and 3 to get 7. 2. Multiply the result by 7: 7 times 7 equals 49. 3. Without the parentheses, 4 + 3 times 7 instead equals 25, showing how the grouping symbol changes the answer. _Source: OpenStax Prealgebra (CC BY 4.0), Ch 2 "The Language of Algebra", section 2.1 Use the Language of Algebra_
