Question 165562
(2/3)(15x^2 - 18x + 24)
:
To remove the brackets, multiply each term by 2/3
{{{2/3}}}*15x^2 - {{{2/3}}}*18x + {{{2/3}}}*24)
:
each term cancels out the denominator of 3 leaving;
2*5x^2 - 2*6x + 2*8
you have
10x^2 - 12x + 16
:
Another words, you know that
2/3 of 15 = 10
2/3 of 18 = 12
2/3 of 24 = 16
