6.6 - 1/3x

Practice makes perfect
To simplify the given expression, we will combine like terms and then, use the Distributive Property. We will distribute - 35 to the terms inside the parentheses.
- 3/5(- 8 + 5/9x - 3)
- 3/5(- 8 - 3 + 5/9x)
- 3/5(- 11 + 5/9x)
- 3/5(- 11) + (- 3/5)(5/9x)
3/5(11) + (- 3/5)(5/9x)
33/5 + (- 15/45x)
33/5 - 15/45x
33/5 - 1/3x
6.6 - 1/3x
