Hello!
Explanation:
Distributive property: → a(b+c)=ab+ac
Expand the form equation.
[tex]5(x-4)=5x-20[/tex]
[tex]5x-20+3x-9x+7[/tex]
Then, simplify by equation or expand.
[tex]5x-20+3x-9x+7=-x-13[/tex]
Final answer is: → [tex]\boxed{=-x-13}[/tex]
*The answer must have a negative sign.*
Hope this helps!
Thank you :)

Have a great day! :)
