You could found a lot of equivalent expressions for this.

In math, you could change and rearrange a lot for doing that.

In this case, the easiest way is to distribute the 5 with all of the other terms in the parenthesis.


5*(2x+y-3z)=


(5*2x)+(5*y)-(5*3z)=


10x + 5y - 15z = an this is an equivalent expression
