Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf{-3x+15}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello.

I hope you could recall that the Distributive Property states that

a(b+c)=ab+ac

If not, please do not worry.

Using the property, let's simplify:

-3(x-5)

Multiply -3 times x and -5:

-3x

15

Add the products:

-3x+15

Note:

When we multiply/divide a negative by a negative, we get a positive. :)

I hope it helps & have an outstanding day.
