Answer:

-35+7m

Explanation:

in order to perform distributive property you multiply the outside parentheses by first term in the inside parentheses not forgetting the sign. so here seven times negative 5 equals -35 so you write that down. and the next step you do is seven times M which is 7 m so then because it's not negative you a plus sign and then you add the two together so that is how you get your answer and go to 35 + 7 m.
