Hello!

The Distributive Property states the following:

a(b+c)=ab+ac

where

a, b, and c can be either constants or variables.

Now, simplify:

15(4n-2)

15*4n - 15*2

60n-30

And we can't simplify it any further, because 60 n and 30 aren't like terms.

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any questions!
