simplify the expresion 6(3x−5)+2(3x−5)−8(2x−5)
First, distribute the coefficients to each term in the parentheses:
6(3x − 5) = 18x − 30
2(3x − 5) = 6x − 10
8(2x − 5) = 16x − 40
Now, combine like terms:
(18x − 30) + (6x − 10) − (16x − 40)
Combine like terms with the same variable:
18x + 6x − 16x − 30 − 10 + 40
Combine like terms without variables:
(18x + 6x − 16x) + (40 − 10 − 30)
Combine like terms:
8x + 0 + 0
Simplify further:
8x
