Solve:

2 (-n-3) - 7 (5+2n)

-16n-41

Explanation

Distribute:

= (2) (-n) + (2) (-3) + (-7) (5) + (-7) (2n)

=-2n+-6+-35+-14n

Combine Like Terms:

=-2n+-6+-35+-14n

= (-2n+-14n) + (-6+-35)

=-16n+-41

-16n-41

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (-n-3) - 7 (5+2n)

First begin by expanding the bracket. That is, multiplyingthe brackets by 2 and - 7 appropriately.

In doing so we have,

2 (-n) x 2 (-3) - 7 (5) x - 7 (+2n)

simplifying becomes:

-2n-6-35-14n

collwct like terms becomes - 2n-14n-6-35

Final answer becomes Thus: - 16n-41
