Question

Simplify: 5(2c - 3d) - 4(12d+ 6)

Answer 1

In order to simplify 5(2c - 3d) - 4(12d+ 6) we would make the following:

First Apply the distributive law to expand both 5(2c - 3d) and - 4(12d+ 6) as follows:

`a\left(b-c\right)=ab-ac`

So, for 5(2c - 3d) would be:

5(2c - 3d)=10c -15d

for - 4(12d+ 6) would be:

-48d -24

So you would get 10c -15d -48d -24

Finally you would have to add the similar elements:

10c -15d -48d -24

10c -63d -24

Therefore, 5(2c - 3d) - 4(12d+ 6) simplified would be 10c -63d -24
