#-90x + 60y#

First, we simplify the expressions inside the brackets.

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

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

#-90x + 60y#

Hope this helps!

#-90x+60y #

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

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

and that should be your answer.

Hope this helps!
