Question

write an expression equivalent to $-5(-6h + 3 + 2)$. rewrite the addition as subtraction. $-5(-6h + 3 + 2) = -5(-6h + 5) = 30h + (-25) = 30h - \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Combine like terms inside parentheses

$-5(-6h + 3 + 2) = -5(-6h + 5)$

Step2: Apply distributive property

$-5(-6h + 5) = (-5)(-6h) + (-5)(5) = 30h + (-25)$

Step3: Rewrite addition as subtraction

Recall that $a + (-b) = a - b$, so $30h + (-25) = 30h - 25$

Answer:

25
