#86a-25#

We are given #11+6(15a-6)-4a#

First, let's multiply the #6# to what's inside the parenthesis:

#11+6(15a-6)-4a#

#11+(6)15a-6(6)-4a#

#11+90a-36-4a#

Let's simplify now:

#11+90a-36-4a#

#(11-36)+(90a-4a)=-25+86a#

Thus, following simplification, we get:

#86a-25#

Answer 4

Avery Alexander

To simplify (11 + 6(15a - 6) - 4a), first distribute the (6) across the parentheses:

(11 + 6(15a - 6) - 4a = 11 + 90a - 36 - 4a)

Combine like terms:

(11 + 90a - 36 - 4a = (90a - 4a) + (11 - 36))

(= 86a - 25)

So, (11 + 6(15a - 6) - 4a) simplifies to (86a - 25).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
