Reorder the factors of $10 \cdot 3$ .

$\frac{(- 2 c + 14 c \cdot 3) \cdot 10}{30} - \frac{9 \cdot 6}{30} + \frac{3 \cdot 3}{3 \cdot 10}$

Multiply $3$ by $10$ .

$\frac{(- 2 c + 14 c \cdot 3) \cdot 10}{30} - \frac{9 \cdot 6}{30} + \frac{3 \cdot 3}{30}$

Step 6

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$\frac{(- 2 c + 14 c \cdot 3) \cdot 10 - 9 \cdot 6 + 3 \cdot 3}{30}$

Step 7

Simplify each term.

Multiply $3$ by $14$ .

$\frac{(- 2 c + 42 c) \cdot 10 - 9 \cdot 6 + 3 \cdot 3}{30}$

Add $- 2 c$ and $42 c$ .

$\frac{40 c \cdot 10 - 9 \cdot 6 + 3 \cdot 3}{30}$

Multiply $10$ by $40$ .

$\frac{400 c - 9 \cdot 6 + 3 \cdot 3}{30}$

Multiply $- 9$ by $6$ .

$\frac{400 c - 54 + 3 \cdot 3}{30}$

Multiply $3$ by $3$ .

$\frac{400 c - 54 + 9}{30}$

Step 8

Reduce the expression by cancelling the common factors.

Add $- 54$ and $9$ .

$\frac{400 c - 45}{30}$

Cancel the common factor of $400 c - 45$ and $30$ .

Factor $5$ out of $400 c$ .

$\frac{5 (80 c) - 45}{30}$

Factor $5$ out of $- 45$ .

$\frac{5 (80 c) + 5 (- 9)}{30}$

Factor $5$ out of $5 (80 c) + 5 (- 9)$ .

$\frac{5 (80 c - 9)}{30}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $5$ out of $30$ .

$\frac{5 (80 c - 9)}{5 (6)}$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{5 (80 c - 9)}{5 \cdot 6}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{80 c - 9}{6}$
