Hi there!

The question is asking us to simplify -6(x - 2u -5) by using the distributive property. So what we do is we distribute -6.

By "distribute" I mean multiply it by each and every term inside the parentheses.

The result is:

-6x + 12u + 30

Therefore, the answer is -6x + 12u + 30.

Have a fantastic day!
