Question

How do you simplify `6(3n - 5)`?

Answer 1

`18n - 30`

Explanation:

To simplify this expression we must multiply each term within the parenthesis, (`color(blue)(3n - 5)`), by `color(red)(6)`:

`color(red)(6)(color(blue)(3n - 5)) -> (color(red)(6) * color(blue)(3n)) - (color(red)(6) * color(blue)(5)) -> 18n - 30`
