To simplify the expression 6(3x−5)+2(3x−5)−8(3x−5), we can notice that each term in parentheses is the same, which is (3x−5).

So, we can rewrite the expression as:

6(3x−5) + 2(3x−5) − 8(3x−5) =

Now, we will distribute the coefficients to the terms inside the parentheses:

(6 * 3x) - (6 * 5) + (2 * 3x) - (2 * 5) - (8 * 3x) + (8 * 5) =

18x - 30 + 6x - 10 - 24x + 40 =

Now, we will combine like terms:

(18x + 6x - 24x) + (-30 - 10 + 40) =

- x + 0 =

- x

So, the simplified expression is -x.

To simplify the expression 6(3x−5)+2(3x−5)−8(3x−5), we can simplify each term separately:

6(3x−5) = 18x−30
2(3x−5) = 6x−10
8(3x−5) = 24x−40

Now, we can substitute these simplified expressions back into the original expression:

18x−30 + 6x−10 − (24x−40)

Next, we distribute the negative sign to each term inside the parentheses:

18x−30 + 6x−10 − 24x + 40

Combine like terms:

(18x + 6x − 24x) + (-30 − 10 + 40) = 0x + 0 = 0

Therefore, the simplified expression is 0.
