    To help you understand what needs to be done, let's take a simple example:

    5(10+4) when solved gives 5(14) = 70 OK?

    So, using your problem above, you cannot add the terms within the brakets. There is another solution; multiply each term by the number outside the brackets;

    5(10) + 5(4)

    Keep the sign, you'll eventually get 70, like previously.

    So, with that example, can you simplify your problem?
