How do I simplify 2w – 3 + 3(w – 4) – 5(w – 6)

Answer 1

just apply the distributive property as usual:

2w – 3 + 3(w – 4) – 5(w – 6)
2w - 3 + 3w - 12 - 5w + 30
15

Answer 2

Can you break it down for me to understand it better

Answer 3

2w - 3 + 3w - 12 - 5w + 30

2w + 3w - 5w = 0

-3 - 12 + 30 = 15
