Answer:

∴3 ( 5a - 2b + 3c) = 15 a - 6 b + 9 c

Explanation:

The distributive property of multiplication over addition is

m( a + b + c) = m a + m b + m c where a , b, c are natural numbers and m is constant.

3( 5a - 2b + 3c) = 3 ×( 5 a) - 3 ×( 2 b) + 3 × (3 c)

= 15 a - 6 b + 9 c

∴3 ( 5a - 2b + 3c) = 15 a - 6 b + 9 c
