Explain step-by-step how to simplify -5(2x – 3y + 6z – 10).

Answer 1

Answer: -10x + 15y -30z + 50

Explanation:

OK SO, first we multiply -5 by all the variables in the parentheses.

The expression becomes -10x + 15y - 30z + 50.

THEN, we would try to combine like terms, but there are none.

So -5(2x – 3y + 6z – 10) simplified should be -10x + 15y -30z + 50.

Hope that helps! :)
