Answer:

D

Explanation:

you want to solve it out

start with multiplying z to each. you don't multiply it to the 6 because it is in the same parenthesis set, but you multiply it to everything in the other set. After multiplying, you get:
2z^3 ,
3z^(2) ,
5z

now do that to the 6. After multiplying you get:
12z^(2),
18z,
30

now set it all next to each other
2z^3 +
3z^(2) +
5z +
12z^(2) +
18z +
30

now combine like terms. start with the to the highest power. since there is only one that has a third power, you put that one first. then you combine the squared ones, and so forth.

work combining the squares:
3z^(2) + 12z^(2) = 15z^(2)

work combing the single z's:
5z + 18z = 23z

to get this:
2z^3 +
15z^(2) +
23z +
30

so, the answer is D
