#=5#

Explanation:

There are 3 terms. Simplify each term to a single answer and then
add or subtract in the final step.

#color(blue)(18)color(red)(-3xx5)color(purple)(+2)#

#=color(blue)(18)color(red)(-15)color(purple)(+2)#

Write the additions first:

#color(blue)(18)color(purple)(+2)color(red)(-15)#

#=5#
