Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\sf{2b+3}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, first you need to simplify the expression to use a distributive property.

Distributive property:

[tex]\sf{A(B+C)=AB+AC}[/tex]

5+2b-2

Switch sides.

2b+5-2

Combine like terms.

You have to subtract by the numbers from left to right.

Solve.

5-2=3

2b+3

  • So, the correct answer is 2b+3.

I hope this helps you! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.
