Explanation:
To gain the answer you need to multiply every item in the brackets by the amount outside the brackets (in this case that is
#(-5)(7a-6)
#=(-5)7a+(-5)(-6)#
#=-35a+30#
The above is a perfectly acceptable answer but for tidiness, I have rearranged so that it isn't leading with a minus:
#=30-35a#
