See a solution process below:

To rewrite and simplify this expression multiply each term within the parenthesis by the term outside the parenthesis:

$(5y - 3)color(red)(7) => (color(red)(7) * 5y) - (color(red)(7) * 3) => 35y - 21$

How do you use the distributive property to rewrite and simplify (5y-3)7(5y-3)7?
