I'll simplify completely. To do this, you get rid of all multiplication (and/or division) and then combine like terms.
Expression: 2%28x%2B5%29-7%2B3%28x-2%29
Distributive property with multiplication, watch order of operations with 3%2Ax+and+3%2A-2 coming before +7:2x%2B10-7%2B3x-6
Rearranged: 2x%2B3x%2B10-7-6
Combining like terms: 5x-3
