The expression is given to be:


2f-5\mleft(f+5\mright)

Step 1: Apply the distributive law to expand the parenthesis given to be


a(b+c)=ab+ac

Therefore, we have:


\begin{gathered} -5(f+5)=-5f-25 \\ \therefore \\ \Rightarrow2f-5f-25 \end{gathered}

Step 2: Add/Subtract common terms


\Rightarrow-3f-25

ANSWER

The simplest form is gotten to be:


\Rightarrow-3f-25
