Simplify the expression
6(3x-5)+2(3x-5)-8(2x-5)
8x
24x - 40
36x - 60
48x - 80
To simplify the expression, first distribute each term inside 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 the x terms:
18x + 6x - 16x - 30 - 10 + 40
Combine the constant terms:
(18x + 6x - 16x) + (40 - 30 - 10)
Combine like terms:
(8x) + (0)
Simplified, the expression is 8x.
