$5(7x^3-5b^4)$

Let's start by distributing the $5$ to both terms in the parenthesis. Doing this, we get

$5x^3+30x^3-25b^4$

We can simplify the $x^3$ terms to get

$35x^3-25b^4$

We can factor out a $5$ from both terms. Here we are essentially dividing, and we get

$5(7x^3-5b^4)$

as our final answer

Hope this helps!
