Consider the example
(3x+5) - (x-10)
When we subtract off the (x-10), we are basically subtracting off x and also subtracting off -10. This is the same as adding on 10 because -(-10) = 10
So we would have these steps
(3x+5)-(x-10)
3x+5-x+10
2x+15
Often students forget to distribute the negative all the way through and would have 3x+5-x-10 as an incorrect step. You need to multiply that -1 through to each term, so that's why the distributive property is used.

Answer:
405.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a geometric sequence where the nth term = a1 r^(n -1).
Here a1 = 5 and r = 3 so
the fifth term a5 = 5(3)^(5-1)
= 5 * 81
= 405.
