Given the expression:


-7(-15w+21)+3(18-27w)

We will simplify the expression as follows:

1) using the distributive property to expand the expression:


(-7)\cdot(-15w)+(-7)\cdot21+3\cdot18+3\cdot(-27w)

2) using the commutative property:


\begin{gathered} 105w-147+54-81w \\ =105w-81w-147+54 \end{gathered}

3) Combine the like terms:


=24w-93

So, the answer will be 24w - 93
