6%28t%2B3%29%2B8-5%28t%2B2%29=%286t%2B18%29%2B8-%285t%2B10%29 First step, distribute 6 and 5 into parentheses.
6%28t%2B3%29%2B8-5%28t%2B2%29=6t%2B18%2B8-5t-10%29 Simplify.
6%28t%2B3%29%2B8-5%28t%2B2%29=%286t-5t%29%2B%2818%2B8-10%29 Group similar terms (t terms and constants).
6%28t%2B3%29%2B8-5%28t%2B2%29=t%2B16 Simplify.
