Question

Distribute and simplify-5(-5x+ 3) - 6 (3x + 2)

Answer 1

You have to solve the following calculation

`-5(-5x+3)-6(3x+2)`

The first step is to solve the multiplication on the parentheses terms, to do so you have to apply the distributive propperty of multiplications. That is to multiply each term inside the parentheses by the coefficient.

`\begin{gathered} \lbrack(-5)(-5x)+(-5)\cdot3\rbrack+\lbrack(-6)(3x)+(-6)\cdot2\rbrack \\ \lbrack25x-15\rbrack+\lbrack-18x-12\rbrack \\ 25x-15-18x-12 \end{gathered}`

Next is to order the like terms together and solve the operations between them

`\begin{gathered} 25x-18x-15-12 \\ 7x-27 \end{gathered}`
