18n - 3018n−30

Explanation:

To simplify this expression we must multiply each term within the parenthesis, (color(blue)(3n - 5)3n−5), by color(red)(6)6:

color(red)(6)(color(blue)(3n - 5)) -> (color(red)(6) * color(blue)(3n)) - (color(red)(6) * color(blue)(5)) -> 18n - 306(3n−5)→(6⋅3n)−(6⋅5)→18n−30
