The name of the carboxylic acid would be 2-methyl-3-ethylheptanoic acid.
Carboxylic acids are named based on the longest carbon chain and the counting starts from the carboxylic acid's functional group.
Thus, in this case, the compound would be a heptanoic acid because the longest chain towards the functional group has 7 carbons.
This means 2 branches exist in the compound. The first one has a single carbon while the second one has 2 carbon atoms. This means they are methyl and ethyl groups respectively.
The branches are located on the second and third carbon on the main chain. Thus the compound's name is 2-methyl-3-ethylheptanoic Acid.
