5g+7

Answer 1

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

1. Distribute the 5 to both \( g \) and 2: \[ 5(g + 2) = 5g + 10 \]

2. Then, subtract 3 from that result: \[ 5g + 10 - 3 = 5g + 7 \]

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

The correct response is: 5g + 7.
