Use the distributive property to simply 27-9x+15y

Distributive property: ⇒ a(b+c)=ab+ac

First you had to rewrite down as the nine and its should be three times three is equal to nine. Then you rewrite down as the twenty-seven and its should be nine times three is equal to twenty-seven. Next, you rewrite down as fifteen and its should be five times three is equal to fifteen.

And it gave us ⇒ .

Then you had to factor out by the common term of three.

And it gave us ⇒

Final answer ⇒

Hope this helps!

And thank you for posting your question at here on , and have a great day.
