Using the distributive property, first multiply 5 x 2a, then 5 x -3b.
10a - 15b - (6a - 2)
We can pretend there's a 1 right before the (6a - 2) (1(6a - 2)) and do the same thing we did before. (basically just remove the remaining parentheses)
10a - 15b - 6a - 2
Now put the similar terms together.
10a - 6a - 15b - 2
Simplify
4a - 15b - 2
The answer is 4a - 15b - 2. :)
Hopefully this helps! If you have any more questions or don't understand, feel free to DM me, and I'll get back to you ASAP! :)
