-16n-41

In this expression, let's at first expand it applying the Distributive Property.

Then let's group the terms and add just like with the constants (numbers).

2(-n-3) — 7(5+ 2n)

-2n-6-35-14n

-2n-14n-6-35

-16n-41

Since there's no integer number able to divide them both, our simplest equivalent expression within the options is

-16n-41
