You just multiply 3 by both 15x and -17. None of these choices are correct. The only correct application would be A.

Answer:

\(\frac{3}{5}x-\frac{3}{7}\)  

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

\(3(\frac{1}{5}x-\frac{1}{7})\)

Applying the distributive property

\(3(\frac{1}{5}x-\frac{1}{7})=3(\frac{1}{5}x)-3(\frac{1}{7})\\ \\=\frac{3}{5}x-\frac{3}{7}\)
