To simplify the expression \(-5(2-2x)+6(9x+3)\), follow these steps:
-
Distribute \(-5\) into the first parentheses: \[ -5(2) + (-5)(-2x) = -10 + 10x \]
-
Distribute \(6\) into the second parentheses: \[ 6(9x) + 6(3) = 54x + 18 \]
-
Combine the results from the two distributions: \[ -10 + 10x + 54x + 18 \]
-
Combine like terms:
- Combine the \(x\) terms: \(10x + 54x = 64x\)
- Combine the constant terms: \(-10 + 18 = 8\)
So, the simplified expression is: \[ 64x + 8 \]
