Answer 1

ANSWER:

B. 15 - 6i

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We have the following expression:

$3\left(5-2i\right)$

We apply the distributive property and we are left with the following:

$\begin{gathered} 3\left(5-2i\right)=3\cdot \:5-3\cdot \:2i \\ \\ 3\left(5-2i\right)=15-6i \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the correct answer is B. 15 - 6i
