7+3⋅(2⋅5)

=> The commutative property of addition means that the order of things added does not affect the answer. Therefore, a + b = b + a. So, we reverse the order of the two terms in this question.

=> The associative property of multiplication is that we can group numbers being multiplied in any way but the answer shall be the same. So, a.(b.c) = (a.b).c
So, we replace (3.2).5 with 3.(2.5)

Thus, the answer is 7 + 3.(2.5)
