Question

Which expression is equivalent to 6(4(6x-4y)-5) ?

Answer 1

`144x - 96y - 30`

Explanation:

Step 1: Distribute

`6(4(6x - 4y) - 5)`

`6((4 * 6x) + (4 * -4y) - 5)`

`6(24x - 16y - 5)`

Step 2: Distribute again

`(6 * 24x) + (6 * -16y) + (6 * -5)`

`144x - 96y - 30`

Answer:
`144x - 96y - 30`
