Answer:

-18n - 24

Explanation:


- (2)/(5) * (45n + 60)


= - (2)/(5) * 5(9n + 12)


= - 2(9n + 12)


= 2 * 9n - 2 * 12


= - 18n - 2 * 12


= - 18n - 24

\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Question} \downarrow}


\large \sf-(2)/(5)\left(45n+60\right) \\


\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}


\large \sf \: -(2)/(5)\left(45n+60\right) \\

  • Use the distributive property to multiply
    \sf-(2)/(5) \\ by 45n+60.


\large \sf-(2)/(5)* 45n-(2)/(5)* 60 \\

  • Express
    \sf-(2)/(5) \\ × 45 as a single fraction.


\large \sf(-2* 45)/(5)n-(2)/(5)* 60 \\

  • Multiply -2 and 45 to get -90.


\large \sf(-90)/(5)n-(2)/(5)* 60 \\

  • Divide -90 by 5 to get -18.


\large \sf-18n-(2)/(5)* 60 \\

  • Express
    \sf -(2)/(5)* 60 \\as a single fraction.


\large \sf-18n+(-2* 60)/(5) \\

  • Multiply -2 and 60 to get -120.


\large \sf-18n+(-120)/(5) \\

  • Divide -120 by 5 to get -24.


\large \boxed{ \bf \: -18n-24 }
