(i) I used distributive property to get the x’s and y’s out of parentheses. I then combined like-terms to simplify until I could do no more. That is your final answer for (i) is -3x - 12y
(ii) This one is similar to the first one, just with no parentheses. I combined like terms again until not like terms were left. Your final answer for (ii) is -3k -2 -2n
(iii) I started by dividing 15 by 3 and got 5, and because the 15 had an x to it, you get 5x. I then moved onto the next term, 9. 9 divided by 3, to get 3. Your final answer for (iii) is 5x + 3
