Please answer I’m struggling

Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \frac{{(3 + u)}^{2} }{8} [/tex]
[When u = 5]
[tex] = \frac{{(3 + 5)}^{2} }{8} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{ {(8)}^{2} }{8} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{8 \times 8}{8} [/tex]
= 8 (Ans)
-2(a - 7)
(Using Distributive property)
= - 2 × a -2 × (-7)
= -2a + 14 (Ans)
