Answer:


5x*7

Explanation:

We know that PEMDAS is a shortened acronym for the order in which we do operations in an expression, which is as following in the correct order:

Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.

Now your question asks you to solve the expression using PEMDAS, however that is what we would do regardless as in algebra PEMDAS is always in effect.

Lets break it down!
(3x+2x)*(3+4)

Simple enough! We just do the respective operations inside the parenthesis first (as per pemdas), which after completion yields us


5x*7

Since x is undefined and the expression is completely simplified, there is nothing more we can do.
