Question

Which expression is equivalent to 6(4(6x-4y)-5) ?

Answer 1

Answer:

$144x - 96y - 30$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Distribute

$6(4(6x - 4y) - 5)$

$6((4 * 6x) + (4 * -4y) - 5)$

$6(24x - 16y - 5)$

Step 2:  Distribute again

$(6 * 24x) + (6 * -16y) + (6 * -5)$

$144x - 96y - 30$

Answer:  $144x - 96y - 30$
