Answer:

2., 3., 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

when we do the multiplications we see

2×3x/4 + 2×7 - 3×1x/2 + 3×5 = 3x/2 + 14 - 3x/2 + 15 = 29

as 3x/2 and -3x/2 reduce themselves in a sum to 0.

this gives answer option 2.

the other correct answer options are just splitting the addition part in a multiplication into their 2 "sub-multiplications" and adding these results.

the only correct ones (correctly maintaining our converting the signs) are 3 and 5.

option 4 suddenly converts the -3 factor into +3 without any other compensation. so, that is wrong.

and option 1 made again a sign mistake with -3×-5, which is correctly +15 and not -15.
