You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given:
.
.
Just multiply -5 times each of the terms inside the parentheses. I think what might be confusing you is the signs. So, until you get used to the process, it might be helpful to think of this problem in the following form:
.
.
Now just multiply out the expression by inserting the -5 multiplier for each term in parentheses as follows:
.
.
Then do the multiplications to get:
.
.
and this simplifies to:
.
.
But the shorter and quicker way would be to verbally say the following
.
-5 times x cubed is -5x^3
.
then say -5 times -3x^2 is +15x^2
.
then say -5 times 4x is -20x
.
and finally say -5 times 6 is -30
.
Then put these four answers together to get the overall answer of:
.
-5x^3 +15x^2 - 20x - 30
.
I hope this helps a little bit to clarify things for you.
