Question

can anyone simplify this? (Apparently using the distributive property.)
-3(-5v-u+6)

Answer 1

I could be wrong however, I'm sure it's: -3x-5= 15v (two negatives become a positive. -3-u becomes 3u. (Two negatives also become a positive), and -3+6 is -3x6= -18. Hence, the answer is: 15v+3u-18.

Answer 2

Hey there!

-3(-5v - u + 6)

= -3(-5v) - 3(-u) - 3(6)

= 15v - 3u - 18

= 3u + 15v - 18

Therefore, your answer is: 3u + 15v - 18

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
