Answer:

The simplified expression is 6w - 15.

To simplify the expression -3(w + 3) + 3(3w - 2), you can distribute the constants -3 and 3 to the terms inside the parentheses and then combine like terms:

-3(w + 3) + 3(3w - 2)

Distribute -3 to the terms inside the first set of parentheses:


-3* w + -3*3

-3w - 9

Distribute 3 to the terms inside the second set of parentheses:


3* 3w -2* 3

9w - 6

-3w + 9w - 9 - 6

Now, you can combine like terms by adding -3w and 9w:

-3w + 9w = 6w

Similarly, combine the constants -9 and -6:

-9 - 6 = -15

So, the simplified expression is 6w - 15.
