Please post the complete problem.

As posted, I cannot tell what is it that you were asked to do and what the next step would be.

Do you mean what properties are used to solve this problem?

If so, the first step would be to get rid of the parenthesis by distributing 200 over everything in the parenthesis .

200 times n and 200 times 3

Rewrite

500 + 200n + 600

The addition.

500 + 600 = 1100

Rewrite

1100 + 200n

Used the commutative property of addition and the distributive property of multiplication. But as Subhotosh said this isn't a complete problem so this may not be what you are asking.
