Step-by-Step Solution

Let's consider that each set of parentheses represents a number.

That is, if we solve the exercises within the parentheses, we will get a multiplication exercise of three numbers. We can't simplify the 3 so it does not get factored.

We solve each of the exercises within the parentheses to reveal what the numbers are:

20+3=23 20+3=23

20+5=25 20+5=25

That is, the exercise we obtained is the multiplication between three numbers:

3×23×25 3\times23\times25

Answer

3×23×25 3\times23\times25
