I also need the steps​

Answer 1

`\Large\boxed{\tt Answer:~2(5a+3b+3c)}`

`\tt Step-by-step~explanation:`

You cannot simplify this expression, but instead, you can factor it like this:

Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the three numbers.

`\tt 10 / 5=2\\6 / 3 = 2\\6 / 3 = 2\\GCF=2`

Since the GCF is 2, we can factor 10, 6, and 6 by dividing them by two and placing them inside parenthesis.

`\tt 2(5a+3b+3c)`

When you multiply 2 to each of the terms, you would end up with 10a + 6b + 6c.
