Explanation:
To simplify the expression -6(4v - x - 5), we distribute the -6 to each term inside the parentheses:
-6(4v - x - 5) = -6(4v) - (-6x) - (-6)(5)
Simplifying each term:
-6(4v) = -24v
-(-6x) = 6x
-(-6)(5) = 30
Therefore,
-6(4v - x - 5) = -24v + 6x - 30
So the simplified expression is -24v + 6x - 30.
