Question

How do you simplify `3x ( 6x + 2) - 5x ( x - 7y ) - 3( 2x + 5y y )`?

Answer 1

`13x^2+35xy^2-15y^2`

Explanation:

Well, Homework? lol Anyway, this is a long question but it's easily simplified with multiplication, subtraction, addition, and knowing your laws of exponents.

So starting with `3x(6x+2)`. Remember P.E.M.D.A.S. when you are doing any of these expressions!

So we are going to start with distributive property.

`(3x * 6x) + (3x*2)`. So to expand this expression:

`3*x*6*x`, lets just start with `3*6=18`

But what about the `x's?" " 18xxx*x` so simplifying this, it would equal `18x^2`.

So, overall `3x*6x = 18x^2`.

Now do this with the second part of the bracket.

Below I will do this, if you don't need this explanation again skip this paragraph.

Now, we have to do `3x*2`... again multiply the numbers first,
`3 xx2... =6`.

Since there is only one `x` in this expression it would just be `6x.`
Now we have:
`18x^2+6x` which are unlike terms, so we cannot add them.

Continue doing this through the whole expression:
Then overall you will get:

`color(blue)(3x(6x+2))color(red)(-5x(x-7y)) color(green)(-3(2x+5yy))`
`= color(blue)(18x^2+6x)color(red)(-5x^2+35xy)color(green)(-6x-15y^2)`

Simplify like terms
(to simplify only add/subtract the terms with the same exponents AND letters)

And the answer is the following:
`13x^2+35xy^2-15y^2` (fully simplified)
