Hello!

We can solve this problem using the Distributive Property, which states the following:

a(b + c) = ab + ac
a(b – c) = ab – ac

In this case, we’ll use the first of the two formulas. Insert any known values into the equation as follows:

a(b + c) = ab + ac
5(6x + 3y) = 5(6x) + 5(3y)

Now simplify the right side of the equation:

5(6x + 3y) = 30x + 15y

We have now proven the given expression to equal (30x + 15y).

Consequently, the correct answer is D.

I hope this helps!
