The next step for the evaluation of the given expression is:

(3)(5)+((1)/(3))(5)+(3)((1)/(4))+((1)/(3))((1)/(4))

We are given an arithmetic expression as follows:

$(3+(1)/(3))(5)+(3+\fracx{1}{3})((1)/(4))$

Now, in order to solve the given arithmetic expression we need to use the distributive property.

i.e.

$(a+b)c=a\cdot c+b\cdot c$

Now, the expression in the next step is written as follows:

$(3+(1)/(3))(5)+(3+\fracx{1}{3})((1)/(4))=(3)(5)+((1)/(3))(5)+(3)((1)/(4))+((1)/(3))((1)/(4))$
