In this question, you're simplifying the expression.

Simplify:

-3(x+3)² - 3 + 3x

First, square the factors inside the parenthesis:

-3(x² + 6x +9) - 3 + 3x

Distribute the -3 to the variables inside the parenthesis:

-3x² - 18x - 27 - 3 + 3x

Combine like terms:

-3x² - 15x - 27 - 3

-3x² - 15x - 30

Answer:

-3x² - 15x - 30
