Evaluate
(6x−75)×30
Use the the distributive property to expand the expression
6x×30−75×30
Multiply the terms
5x−75×30
Multiply the numbers
5x−2250
600−(5x−2250)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
600−5x+2250
Add the numbers
2850−5x
2850−5x=150
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−5x=150−2850
Subtract the numbers
−5x=−2700
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
5x=2700
Divide both sides
