$- 5 a + 30$ $-5a+30$

Explanation:

$each term inside the factor (a - 6) is multiplied by - 5$ $"each term inside the factor "(a-6)" is multiplied by - 5"$

$\Rightarrow (a - 6) (- 5)$ $rArr(a-6)(color(red)(-5))$

$= (a \times - 5) + (- 6 \times - 5) \leftarrow distributive property$ $=(axxcolor(red)(-5))+(-6xxcolor(red)(-5))larrcolor(blue)" distributive property"$

$= - 5 a + 30$ $=-5a+30$
