So when you opened up the parenthesis on the right side of the question, you added -2 to 5 instead of multiplying. Since there is no addition sign in between -2 and the parenthesis, it should be multiplication, so -2x + -10.

Which leads me to believe that this question wasn't written correctly because 10 does not equal -10 for sure.
