Sure! Here’s how to simplify the expression step by step, like a 7th grader would do it, without numbered steps.

Let's say we have the expression:

2(3 + 4) + 5

First, we start by simplifying the parentheses. We see that inside the parentheses we have 3 + 4, which equals 7. So now the expression looks like this:

2(7) + 5

Next, we need to multiply. We multiply 2 by 7, which gives us 14. Now our expression is:

14 + 5

Now we just add 14 and 5 together, which equals 19.

So the simplified version of 2(3 + 4) + 5 is 19.
