Answer:
Hi there!
Your answer is two times.
Step-by-step explanation:
The distributive property is multiplying the coefficient in front of parentheses into the parentheses. You have two sets of parentheses both with a coefficient that needs to be distributed.
The first time you use it is on 2(x+5), distributing the 2.
The second time you use it is on the -3(2x+7), distributing the -3
Please let me know if you have questions :)
