To simplify the expression \( 5(-6c - 3) + 10c \), follow these steps:
1. Distribute the 5:
\[
5(-6c) + 5(-3) = -30c - 15
\]
2. Now combine this with \( 10c \):
\[
-30c - 15 + 10c
\]
3. Combine like terms (the terms with \( c \)):
\[
(-30c + 10c) - 15 = -20c - 15
\]
So, the simplified expression is:
\[
-20c - 15
\]
