Math Problem Statement

-3(-2f+5)+10-10f

Solution

Let's solve the expression step by step:

3(2f+5)+1010f-3(-2f + 5) + 10 - 10f

Step 1: Distribute the 3-3 across the parentheses

3×(2f)+(3)×5+1010f-3 \times (-2f) + (-3) \times 5 + 10 - 10f

This gives us:

6f15+1010f6f - 15 + 10 - 10f

Step 2: Combine like terms

Now, let's group the terms with ff and the constant terms:

  • Combine 6f6f and 10f-10f: 6f10f=4f6f - 10f = -4f

  • Combine the constants 15-15 and +10+10: 15+10=5-15 + 10 = -5

Final simplified expression:

4f5-4f - 5

This is the simplified form of the given expression.
