To simplify the expression, we can distribute the coefficients to each term within the parentheses:
6(3x - 5) = 18x - 30
2(3x - 5) = 6x - 10
8(3x - 5) = 24x - 40
Now, we can combine like terms:
(18x - 30) + (6x - 10) - (24x - 40)
= 18x - 30 + 6x - 10 - 24x + 40
= (18x + 6x - 24x) + (-30 - 10 + 40)
= 0x + 0
= 0
So, the simplified expression is 0.
