$= 3 h - 15$ $= color(blue)( 3h −15)$

$3 (h - 5)$ $color(blue)(3)(h−5)$

Here we need to multiply $3$ $color(blue)(3$ with both terms within the bracket.

$= 3 \cdot (h) + 3 (- 5)$ $= color(blue)(3) *(h) + color(blue)(3)(−5)$

$= 3 h - 15$ $= color(blue)( 3h −15)$

How do you simplify 3(h−5)3(h - 5) ?
