See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, to use the distributive property, multiply each term within the parenthesis by the term outside the parenthesis:

15(f+13)(15×f)+(15×13)

15f+153

To simplify, factor and cancel common terms for the fraction on the right side of the expression:

15f+15315f+3×5315f+3×53

15f+5
