Math Problem Statement

5(-6c-3)+10c

Solution

To simplify the expression 5(6c3)+10c5(-6c - 3) + 10c, follow these steps:

  1. Distribute the 5 across the terms inside the parentheses: 5×(6c)+5×(3)=30c155 \times (-6c) + 5 \times (-3) = -30c - 15

  2. Now add the remaining 10c10c: 30c15+10c-30c - 15 + 10c

  3. Combine the like terms: (30c+10c)15=20c15(-30c + 10c) - 15 = -20c - 15

So, the simplified expression is: 20c15-20c - 15
