Question

$$5(ux-3y)-8(ux-3y)$$

Evaluate

$9y-3ux$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply $5$ by $ux-3y$.

$$5ux-15y-8\left(ux-3y\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $-8$ by $ux-3y$.

$$5ux-15y-8ux+24y$$

Combine $5ux$ and $-8ux$ to get $-3ux$.

$$-3ux-15y+24y$$

Combine $-15y$ and $24y$ to get $9y$.

$$-3ux+9y$$

Expand

$9y-3ux$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply $5$ by $ux-3y$.

$$5ux-15y-8\left(ux-3y\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $-8$ by $ux-3y$.

$$5ux-15y-8ux+24y$$

Combine $5ux$ and $-8ux$ to get $-3ux$.

$$-3ux-15y+24y$$

Combine $-15y$ and $24y$ to get $9y$.

$$-3ux+9y$$
