First step is to do distributive property.

so you multiply 5 by -3.4k and -7

your equation now is -17k-35+(3k+21)

Then you add like terms

add -17k+3k to give you -14k-35+21

then you add like terms again

add -35+21 to give you -14

so now your equation is -14k-14

So that is your answer simplified
