Question

How do you simplify `5x(3x^2 - x + 3)`?

Answer 1

See the solution process below:

Explanation:

Multiply each term within the parenthesis by the term outside the parenthesis:

`color(red)(5x)(3x^2 - x + 3) ->`

`(color(red)(5x) xx 3x^2) - (color(red)(5x) xx x) + (color(red)(5x) xx 3) ->`

`15x^3 - 5x^2 + 15x`
