Question

Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses -5(2x-3w-6)

Answer 1

`- 10x + 15w + 30`

Explanation:

`- 5(2x - 3w - 6)`

Multiply each term in the parentheses by -5

`- 5 * 2x - 5 * ( - 3w) - 5 * ( - 6)`

Calculate the product

`- 10x - 5 * ( - 3x) - 5 * ( - 6)`

Multiplying two negatives equals a positive
`( - ) * ( - ) = ( + )`

`- 10x + 5 * 3w - 5 * ( - 6)`

Calculate the product

`- 10x + 15w - 5 * ( - 6)`

Multiply the numbers

`- 10x + 15w + 30`

Hope this helps..

Best regards!!

Answer 2

15w - 10x + 30.

Explanation:

-5(2x - 3w - 6)

= (-5 * 2x) + (-5 * -3w) + (-5 * -6)

= -10x + 15w + 30

= 15w - 10x + 30.

Hope this helps!
