Answer:

18x - 30

Explanation:

in order to expand the expression, you need to use the distributive property to simplify 6(3x - 5).

first, distribute 6 to 3x, which is just 6 • 3x.

  • 6 • 3x = 18x

now distribute 6 to -5, which is just 6 • -5.

  • 6 • -5 = -30

therefore, 6(3x - 5) expanded is 18x - 30 :) i hope this helps!! have a lovely rest of your day <3
