No because if you could use distributive property you would do 5*7 then 5*10 then you would get 35*50 which equals 1,750 and if you do it like it’s set up you would do 7*10 first cause PEMDAS so parentheses first so 7*10 is 70 then 70*5 is 350 and that’s not even close to the other answer so no you can’t .
