To expand the expressions using the distributive property, we multiply the term outside the parentheses by each term inside the parentheses.

  1. For \(6(3x - 5)\): \[ 6(3x) - 6(5) = 18x - 30 \] So, the answer is: \[ 18x-30 \]

  2. For \(2(3x - 5)\): \[ 2(3x) - 2(5) = 6x - 10 \] So, the answer is: \[ 6x-10 \]

  3. For \(2(3 + 8x)\): \[ 2(3) + 2(8x) = 6 + 16x \] So, the answer is: \[ 6+16x \]

Here are all the expanded expressions without any spaces:

  • \(18x-30\)
  • \(6x-10\)
  • \(6+16x\)
