5(4n-11) - 3n + 20

To get equivalent expression we remove the parenthesis and combine like terms

We distribute 5 inside the parenthesis 4n - 11

5 times 4n = 20n

5 times -11 = -55

So expression becomes

20n - 55 - 3n + 20

Now we combine like terms

20n and -3n are like terms

20n - 3n is 17n, also -55 + 20 is -35

so expression becomes -17n -35
