(1)/(3) (12t - 15) \\ \\ (1)/(3) * 12t (1)/(3) * -15 \ / \ distribute \\ \\ 4t + (1)/(3) * -15 \ / \ simplify \\ \\ 4t+ - (1)/(3) * 15 \ / \ simplify \\ \\ 4t - (15)/(3) \ / \ simplify \\ \\ 4t - 5 \ / \ simplify \\ \\

Finally, we have reached our answer! The answer that expands the expression is 4t - 5.
