Question 760906
Distributive property:
{{{5(x-3)=5*x+5*(-3)=5x-15}}}
You can also apply the distributive property to the other expression in parenthesis:
{{{-4x(6+1)=-4x*6+(-4x)*1=-24x-4x=-28x}}}, BUT
that is silly, because you can calculate {{{(6+1)=7}}} and then multiply that times {{{-4x}}}.
 
{{{(-2)+5(x-3)-4x(6+1)=-2+5x-15-4x*7=-2+5x-15-28x=-17-23x}}}
