The expression we need to simplify is:
[tex]6(-5u+1)-3(4u-12)[/tex]
Step 1. Use distributive property to multiply the number outside the parenthesis by the numbers inside the parenthesis. We get the following:
[tex]-30u+6-12u+36[/tex]
Step 2. Combine like variable terms.
We combine -30u and -12u, which results in -42u:
[tex]-42u+6+36[/tex]
Step 3. Combine like independent terms.
We combine the independent terms +6 and +36, which result in +42:
[tex]-42u+42[/tex]
This answer corresponds to the letter Y of the options.
Answer:
Y: -42u+42
