$- 90 x + 60 y$ $-90x + 60y$

First, we simplify the expressions inside the brackets.

Distribute the $5$ $5$ :
$6 [(- 3 x + 2 y) 5)]$ $6[(-3x + 2y)5)]$

Now distribute the $6$ $6$ :
$6 [- 15 x + 10 y]$ $6[-15x + 10y]$

$- 90 x + 60 y$ $-90x + 60y$

Hope this helps!

$- 90 x + 60 y$ $-90x+60y$

You do the innermost brackets first. So distribute the $5$ $5$ first.
You get:
$= 6 (- 15 x + 10 y)$ $=6(-15x+10y)$

Then you distribute the 6.
$= - 90 x + 60 y$ $=-90x+60y$

and that should be your answer.

Hope this helps!
