Question

-5(2-2x)+6(9x+3)

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \(-5(2-2x)+6(9x+3)\), follow these steps:

1. Distribute \(-5\) into the first parentheses:
\[
-5(2) + (-5)(-2x) = -10 + 10x
\]

2. Distribute \(6\) into the second parentheses:
\[
6(9x) + 6(3) = 54x + 18
\]

3. Combine the results from the two distributions:
\[
-10 + 10x + 54x + 18
\]

4. Combine like terms:
- Combine the \(x\) terms: \(10x + 54x = 64x\)
- Combine the constant terms: \(-10 + 18 = 8\)

So, the simplified expression is:
\[
64x + 8
\]
