Fill in the Blank

You are working as an operations assistant at a distribution center, auditing a local spreadsheet model that uses the balancing equation 12[15(4z1)]=3(24+11z){}12[1 - 5(4z - 1)] = 3(24 + 11z) to estimate stock levels. To manually verify the solver's steps, you first distribute the coefficient of 5-5 inside the brackets, updating the left-hand side to 12[120z+5]{}12[1 - 20z + 5]. By recalling how to combine the constant integers inside the brackets, the simplified binomial expression that remains inside the brackets is ____.
