B. because using the distributive property, 3 x 10 = 30 and 3 x -25x = -75x, making the simplified expression 30 - 75x.

B) 30 - 75x

This is because of the distributive property.

In the expression 3(10-25x) you have to multiply 3 by the numbers inside.

3 x 10 = 30

3 x 25x = 75x

Then, we keep the subtraction sign. The final answer is 30 - 75x.
