You just multiply 3 by both 15x and -17. None of these choices are correct. The only correct application would be A.

Answer:

(3)/(5)x-(3)/(7)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

3((1)/(5)x-(1)/(7))

Applying the distributive property

$3((1)/(5)x-(1)/(7))=3((1)/(5)x)-3((1)/(7))\\ \\=(3)/(5)x-(3)/(7)$
