First do inside the (), then multiply, then solve.
5+3(5)-5(2)=5+15-10=20-10=10
The answer is 10

The answer would be 10.
Simplifying5 + 3(5) + -5(4 + -2)
Multiply 3 * 55 + 15 + -5(4 + -2)
Combine like terms: 4 + -2 = 25 + 15 + -5(2)
Multiply -5 * 25 + 15 + -10
Combine like terms: 5 + 15 = 2020 + -10
Combine like terms: 20 + -10 = 1010
