To simplify the expression 6(3x−5)+2(3x−5)−8(2x−5), we can distribute the numbers outside the parentheses:

6(3x−5) = 18x - 30
2(3x−5) = 6x - 10
8(2x−5) = 16x - 40

Now we can combine like terms by adding or subtracting the coefficients of the same variable:

18x - 30 + 6x - 10 - 16x + 40

Simplifying further, we get:

(18x + 6x - 16x) + (-30 - 10 + 40)

8x + 0

Therefore, the simplified expression is 8x.
