Answer:

8t - 15

Explanation:

⇒ 3(t+5)+5(t−6)

distribute inside parenthesis

⇒ 3(t) + 3(5) + 5(t) + 5(-6)

multiply the variables

⇒ 3t + 15 + 5t - 30

collect like terms

⇒ 3t + 5t + 15 - 30

add/ subtract like terms

⇒ 8t - 15

Solution: 8t-15

Detailed explanation:

First the problem asks us to expand

[tex]\tt 3(t+5)=3\cdot t +3\cdot5=3t+15[/tex]

Similarly

[tex]\tt 5(t-6)=5\cdot t -5\cdot 6=5t-30[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]\tt 3t+15+5t-30[/tex]

Upon combining like terms

[tex]\tt 8t+15-30[/tex]

Upon doing this further

[tex]\tt 8t-15[/tex]
