Question

How do you simplify `-15( 14 + 5q)`?

Answer 1

`=color(blue)(-210 -75q`

Explanation:

`color(blue)(−15) * (14+5q)`

Here ,`color(blue)((15))` needs to be multiplied with both terms within the bracket.

`=color(blue)((−15)) * (14+5q)`

`=color(blue)((−15)) * (14) +color(blue)((−15)) * (5q)`

`=color(blue)(-210 -75q`
