Answer:

15v - 35

Explanation:

start by distributing 5 to 3v.

5(3v - 7) aka 5 · 3v 15v

Answer:


15v-35

Explanation:

The distributive property states that
a(b+c)=a*b+a*c, where
a,
b, and
c are real numbers. In this case,
a=5,
b=3v, and
c=-7. Therefore,
5(3v-7)=5*3v+5*(-7)=15v-35. Hope this helps!
