To simplify the expression 6(3x−5) - 2(3x−5)−8(2x−5), we will distribute the values inside the parentheses:
6(3x-5) = 18x - 30
2(3x-5) = 6x - 10
8(2x-5) = 16x - 40
Now we can substitute the resulting expressions back into the original expression:
18x - 30 - (6x - 10) - (16x - 40)
Next, we will combine like terms:
18x - 30 - 6x + 10 - 16x + 40
Consolidating the like terms, we get:
(18x - 6x - 16x) + (-30 + 10 + 40)
Combining like terms again:
-4x + 20
Therefore, the simplified expression is -4x + 20.
6(3x-5) = 18x - 30
2(3x-5) = 6x - 10
8(2x-5) = 16x - 40
Now we can substitute the resulting expressions back into the original expression:
18x - 30 - (6x - 10) - (16x - 40)
Next, we will combine like terms:
18x - 30 - 6x + 10 - 16x + 40
Consolidating the like terms, we get:
(18x - 6x - 16x) + (-30 + 10 + 40)
Combining like terms again:
-4x + 20
Therefore, the simplified expression is -4x + 20.
