To simplify the expression \(-6(-5m - 3n) + 8n - 3(-3n + 4m)\), let's break it down step by step:
-
Distribute \(-6\) into \(-5m - 3n\): \[ -6(-5m) + -6(-3n) = 30m + 18n \]
-
Distribute \(-3\) into \(-3n + 4m\): \[ -3(-3n) + -3(4m) = 9n - 12m \]
-
Now, substitute these back into the expression: \[ 30m + 18n + 8n + 9n - 12m \]
-
Combine like terms:
- For the \(m\) terms: \(30m - 12m = 18m\)
- For the \(n\) terms: \(18n + 8n + 9n = 35n\)
So, the simplified expression is: \[ 18m + 35n \]
