I need to find an equivalent expression, and replace the coefficients

Write an expression that looks like Sarah’s expression: 5(2j + 3 + j). Replace the coefficients so that your expression is not equivalent. You may use any number that you choose to replace the coefficients. Be sure to leave the variables the same. For example, 8(3j + 7 + 3j) looks like Sarah’s expression but is not equivalent.

The answer is
5(2j+3+j)
Then you combine like terms.
5(3j^2+3)
then you multiply.
15j^2+15
