Answer 1

We distribute the 2 and the negative sign in front of the second set of parentheses to get $-28+2r-(-3r-5)$. We simplify the expression inside the parentheses by distributing the negative sign to get $-28+2r+3r+5$. Finally, we combine like terms to get $5r-23$. Thus, the simplified expression is $\boxed{5r-23}$.
