Hi there! The answer is D) −18x − 1

To find our answer we need to work out the parenthesis (for instance possible by using rainbow technique):

[tex]5 - 3(6x + 2) = \\ 5 - 3 \times 6x - 3 \times 2 = \\ 5 - 18x - 6 = [/tex]

Now collect the terms.
[tex]5 - 18x - 6 = \\ - 18x - 1[/tex]

Hence, the answer is D) −18x − 1
