Pemdas, parenthesis first, for a total of 3. Then multiplication, 15, then addition. 17. What's hard about this?

Nope, a total of 15.

Then multiplication

There isn't any Multiplication, only Addition and Brackets (and Subtraction inside Brackets).

You literally must distribute the coefficient before you can do anything with what is inside to remove Brackets, as per The Distributive Law, a(b+c)=(ab+ac), now you can work on getting rid of what is inside.

And what do you do with and and the b and then the a and the c? If you want to simplify the equation?
