Question

6(3x-5)+2(3x-5)-8(2x-5) simplify the expression

Answer 1

Starting with the given expression:

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

First, distribute 6 to the terms inside the parentheses:

18x - 30 + 2(3x-5) - 8(2x-5)

Next, distribute 2 to the terms inside the parentheses:

18x - 30 + 6x - 10 - 8(2x-5)

Now, distribute -8 to the terms inside the parentheses:

18x - 30 + 6x - 10 - 16x + 40

Combining like terms, we get:

(18x + 6x - 16x) + (-30 - 10 + 40)

Simplifying further:

8x + 0

The simplified expression is 8x.
