Solve,
5(x + 2y + 7)
= 5x + 10y + 35
This is the distributive law where the factor 5 is "distributively multiplied" to all the elements inside the brackets. Think of it like your mom announcing that everyone's pocket money is now increased by 5X. So all the three children all had an increase by a factor of 5. Of course, the sum of all the pocket money will become a great burden to your mom but that's not your problem so to speak.

multiply the 5 to x, 2y and 7 and then add :
5*x + 5*2y + 5*7
=5x + 10y + 35.

use the distributive property. Look it up in your textbook if you don't remember how.

you only got half of an equation there... is it not equal to something?
