Answer:

-8k - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

5(-2k-3)+2k

At first, we will break the parenthesis. To break that, we will multiply the value inside the parenthesis by the adjacent number, that is 5. Again, we have to consider the Algebraic operation (Golden rule) -

[(-) x (-) = (+); (+) x (-) = (-)]

Therefore, since there is a minus sign in each of the value inside the parenthesis, the result will be minus as 5 is a positive integer.

or, -5*(2k) - (5*3) + 2k

or, -10k - 15 + 2k

or, -8k - 15 (after the deduction)

The answer is = -8k - 15

In this case, you know that Jane has 18 juice boxes, 24 bags of peanuts and 36 apples. Therefore, the steps are the following:

1. You need to descompose 18, 24 and 36 into their prime factors, as below:

$18=2*3*3=2*3^2\\\\24=2*2*2*3=2^3*3\\\\36=2*2*3*3=2^2*3^2$
