Use the distributive property to write the expression without parentheses. 5(5a - 7)
To distribute the 5 to both terms inside the parentheses, we can multiply each term by 5:
5 * 5a = 25a
5 * -7 = -35
Thus, the expression 5(5a - 7) without parentheses becomes:
25a - 35
To write the expression 5(5a - 7) without parentheses using the distributive property, we have to multiply each term inside the parentheses by the coefficient outside of the parentheses (in this case, the coefficient is 5).
So, we distribute the 5 to both terms inside the parentheses:
5 * 5a = 25a
5 * -7 = -35
Therefore, the expression 5(5a - 7) written without parentheses using the distributive property is: 25a - 35
