You can simplify this expression with PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction)

Start with the expressions in the parentheses:

4-7=-3

4+7=11

The expression now reads -2(-3)+5(11). Now, simplify the multiplication expressions:

-2*-3=6

5*11=55

The expression is 6+55 which is 61.

Hope this helps!!
