can you help simplify 15-2(3x+5y)

OpenStudy (steve816):

Hey there, use distribution!

OpenStudy (steve816):

15 - 6x - 10y

KjSaif (kjsaif):

Distribute: =15+(−2)(3x)+(−2)(5y) =15+−6x+−10y

alones (alones):

Distrube just like @steve816 and @kjsaif showed ._.

OpenStudy (steve816):

@KJSaif You are making this very confusing by having both + and - together.

KjSaif (kjsaif):
