Answer: 25-5x


Step-by-step explanation: To get rid of the parentheses you must multiply or distribute the 5 to everything inside the parentheses.

Multiply 5*5 to get 25

Multiply 5 *x to get 5x.

And finally we and up with the expression

25-5x.

Hope this helps!

You would do 5 times 5 then 5 times x so 25-5x
