Answer

\[17x-15\].

Work Step by Step

Consider the expression\[5\left( 2x-3 \right)+7x\]. Simplified it as follows: First apply the distributive law and get, \[5\left( 2x-3 \right)+7x=10x-15+7x\] Add the like terms, \[\begin{align} & 5\left( 2x-3 \right)+7x=10x-15+7x \\ & =17x-15 \end{align}\] Hence, the given algebraic expression simplified to\[17x-15\].
