can u sistribute everything first?

OpenStudy (nikato):

distribute

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[a(b-c)=(a \times b)-(a \times c)\]THis is the way to do it, apply it here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[AND\]\[a(b+c)=(a \times b) + (a \times c)\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

tell me what you get when you're done.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm ill try

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

go ahead, sure...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the B in the answer will be a T what to do about tht

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it (3*t)+(3*12)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[3(t-14)-5(t+12)\]Lets work the first part\[3(t-14)\]\[(3 \times t)-( 3 \times 14)\]\[3t-42\]Now the second part\[-5(t+12)\]\[(~~(-5) \times t)+(~~(-5) \times 12)\]\[-5t-60\]so so far you have \[3t-42\color{red} {-5t-60}\](second part is in red)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Now add like terms \[3t-42-5t-60\]\[\color{red} {3t}\color{blue} {-42}\color{red} {-5t}\color{blue} {-60}\]\[\color{red} {3t-5t}\color{blue} {-42-60}\]\[\color{red} {-2t}\color{blue} {-102}\]there is the final answer.
