Question

Please help solve this equation. -3(5w-3y-2)

Answer 1

-15w+9y+6

Explanation:

I think that you are asking to simplify the expression. An equation has an equal sign and I do not see one.

We need to distribute the -3 to everything inside of the parentheses.

A negative times a negative is a positive.

A negative times a positive is a negative.

-3(5w-3y-2)

-3(5w) -3(-3y) -3(-2)

-15w + 9y + 6

Answer 2

Hi!

To simplify this, use the Distributive Property:

• 
  `\tt{a(b+c)=ab+ac}` | Basically, we distribute a so that it gets multiplied by b and c.

Now, let's simplify the given expression:

`\dashrightarrow\sf{-3(5w-2y-2)}`

Like the property said, We should distribute -3 so that it's multiplied by each term:

`\bullet\dashrightarrow\sf{-15w+9y+6}`

Therefore,

`\bullet\dashrightarrow\stackrel{\heartsuit}{\boxed{\boxed{\boldsymbol{-15w+9y+6}}}}}\dashleftarrow\bullet`

Good luck.
