Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to multiply a parenthesis by a number, you simply distribute the number to all the terms in the parenthesis.

So, if you want to multiply the parenthesis

(3x−7) by 5, you need to multiply by 5

both 3x and −7.

We have that 5⋅(3x)=5⋅(3⋅x)=(5⋅3)⋅x=15x and −7⋅5=−35

So, 5(3x−7)=15x−35
