Answer

The right expression of provided algebraic expression is \[15x+21\].

Work Step by Step

Distributive property: \[c\left( a+b \right)=ac+bc\] Standard form of distributive property is: \[c\left( a+b \right)=ac+bc\] Now use the distributive property for the provided expression is: \[3\left( 5x+7 \right)=15x+21\] Being a teacher of a student, I would suggest him to learn a standard form of distributive property so that, next time he wouldn’t repeat that error.
