Simplify Expression C9453B

1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$15. (2x)-6(8x)$$. 2. **Apply the distributive property:** Multiply the constants with the variables inside the parentheses. $$15 \cdot 2x = 30x$$ $$-6 \cdot 8x = -48x$$ 3. **Rewrite the expression:** $$30x - 48x$$ 4. **Combine like terms:** $$30x - 48x = (30 - 48)x = -18x$$ 5. **Final simplified expression:** $$-18x$$ 6. **Check answer choices:** None of the options exactly match $$-18x$$, so the expression simplifies to $$-18x$$ which is not listed among the options A, B, C, or D.
