5g+7

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \(5(g + 2) - 3\), we can follow these steps:

1. Distribute \(5\) into the parentheses: \[ 5(g + 2) = 5g + 10 \]

2. Then subtract \(3\) from the result: \[ 5g + 10 - 3 = 5g + 7 \]

Thus, the expression \(5(g + 2) - 3\) simplifies to \(5g + 7\).

The correct response is: 5g + 7.
