7(x+3y) -2(x-5y)

Would the answer be:

7x +21y -2x +10y
=5x +31y

OR

7x +21y -2x -10y
=5x +11y
 
7(x+3y) -2(x-5y)

Would the answer be:

7x +21y -2x +10y
=5x +31y

OR

7x +21y -2x -10y
=5x +11y

You don't tell us what you wanted to do with the expression


Assuming that you wanted to expand and simplify - the first attempt is correct.


7(x+3y) -2(x-5y) = 7x +21y -2x +10y = 5x +31y
