Simplify 5(3p - 2) + 2(p +4)

Sagot :

[tex]5\mleft(3p-2\mright)+2\mleft(p+4\mright)\text{ = 17p-2}[/tex]

Here, we want to simplify the expression

To do this, we shall use the term outside the bracket to multiply the terms inside the brackets before we proceed to add them together

We have this as follows;

[tex]\begin{gathered} (5\times3p)-(5\times2)\text{ + (2}\times p_{})\text{ + (2}\times4) \\ =\text{ 15p - 10 + 2p + 8} \\ =\text{ 15p}+2p-10+8 \\ =\text{ 17p -2} \end{gathered}[/tex]
