2(-n-3)-7(5+2n)
First, you need to distribute the numbers in front of the parentheses to those in the parentheses. This means you multiply.
2 times -n= -2n
2 times -3= -6
-7 times 5= -35
-7 times 2n= -14n
This leaves you with
-2n -6 -35 -14n
Next, combine like terms.
(-2n) + (-14n)= -16n
(-35) + (-6)= -41
This gives you
-16n-41, which is B in your answer choices.
Hope this makes sense!! :)
