given (-5√(20)+√3*(2+√(3)), i first distribute to get the expression -10√(20)-5√(60)+2√(3)+√(9) which i simplified to -40√(5)-20√(15)+2√(3)+3 for an answer.

but did i not properly distribute the radicals?
overlooked combining radical terms?
did not properly simplify all radicals?
or is it correct

given (-5√(20)+√3*(2+√(3)), i first distribute to get the expression -10√(20)-5√(60)+2√(3)+√(9) which i simplified to -40√(5)-20√(15)+2√(3)+3 for an answer.

but did i not properly distribute the radicals?

From what you have written, you should have only distributed the sqrt(3) into the (2+sqrt(3))

so i didn't properly distribute? or overlooked combining radical terms?
