Answer:

  • -5x+21
  • 22

Step-by-step explanation:

There are no factors outside the parentheses that need to be distributed, so the parentheses can be simply dropped:

  6 -2x +15 -3x

The terms can be rearranged to put like terms next to each other:

  -2x -3x +6 +15

and the like terms can be combined.

  -5x +21 . . . . simplified expression

__

Put the value of x where x is, then do the arithmetic.

  -5(-0.2) +21 = 1 +21 = 22
