$10x-12y-28$

Distribute (Multiply them out)
${3(2x-y-2)-2[3(x-2y+4)-5(2x-3y+2)]}$
${6x-3y-6-6x+6y-12-10x-15y-10}$
Add like terms and simplify.
$6x-6x+10x-3y+6y-15y-6-12-10$
$10x-12y-28$

$20x-21y-10$

Original: ${3(2x-y-2)-2[3(x-2y+4)-5(2x-3y+2)]}$

<=> ${6x-3y-6-2[3x-6y+12-10x+15y-10]$

<=> ${6x-3y-6-6x+12y-24+20x-30y+20}$

Now, we can rearrange

<=> ${6x-6x+20x-3y-30y+12y-6-24+20}$

= $20x-21y-10$

How do you simplify {3( 2x - y - 2) - 2[ 3( x - 2y + 4) - 5( 2x - 3y + 2) \] \}{3( 2x - y - 2) - 2[ 3( x - 2y + 4) - 5( 2x - 3y + 2) \] \}?
