Answer:

5w + 20x - 30

Explanation:

Multiply the term outside the parentheses by each term inside the parentheses.

-5 * -w + -5 * -4x + -5 * 6 = 5w + 20x - 30

hope this helps! <3

Answer:

5w+20x-30 (I think, correct me if I am wrong)

Explanation:

when using the distributive property, you multiply every number by the number on the outside (for what I know) so, you multiply -w by -5, -4x by -5, and 6 by -5, so the answer is 5w+20x+30.
