Please help solve this equation. -3(5w-3y-2)

Sagot :

Answer:

-15w+9y+6

Step-by-step explanation:

I think that you are asking to simplify the expression.  An equation has an equal sign and I do not see one.

We need to distribute the -3 to everything inside of the parentheses.  

A negative times a negative is a positive.

A negative times a positive is a negative.

-3(5w-3y-2)

-3(5w) -3(-3y) -3(-2)

-15w + 9y + 6

Hi!

To simplify this, use the Distributive Property:

  • [tex]\tt{a(b+c)=ab+ac}[/tex] | Basically, we distribute a so that it gets multiplied by b and c.

Now, let's simplify the given expression:

[tex]\dashrightarrow\sf{-3(5w-2y-2)}[/tex]

Like the property said, We should distribute -3 so that it's multiplied by each term:

[tex]\bullet\dashrightarrow\sf{-15w+9y+6}[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]\bullet\dashrightarrow\stackrel{\heartsuit}{\boxed{\boxed{\boldsymbol{-15w+9y+6}}}}}\dashleftarrow\bullet[/tex]

Good luck.
