B. 9a + 5b + 6
C. 9a - 5b + 6

Answer 1

Hi,

For this question first distribute the -3 over the factor 3a - 5b to get:

-9a + 15b + 6 - 10b

Now, at this point, combine like terms by adding/subtracting terms that are similar to get:

-9a + 5b + 6 <==== FINAL ANSWER or Choice A

I hope that helps you out! Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Sincerely,

Answer 2

Simplifying
-3(3a + -5b) + 6 + -10b
(3a * -3 + -5b * -3) + 6 + -10b
(-9a + 15b) + 6 + -10b

Reorder the terms:
6 + -9a + 15b + -10b

Combine like terms: 15b + -10b = 5b
6 + -9a + 5b

so your answer is( A)

Answer 3

-9a+15b+6-10b=0
-9a+5b+6
answer is A.

Answer 4

Your answer is "a".

Multiply -3 by each term inside the parenthesis (3a-5b).
(-3(3a)-3(-5b))+6-10b

Complete the multiplication of -3 by each term inside the parenthesis.
(-9a+15b)+6-10b

Since 15b and -10b are like terms, add -10b to 15b to get 5b.
-9a+5b+6

Hope this helps.
