Question

simplify the expression 3+2(2p+4t)

Answer 1

3 + 2(2p + 4t)    Multiply/distribute 2 into (2p + 4t)

3 + 4p + 8t

Answer 2

Answer:

Simplified expression of  $3+2(2p+4t)$ is, $3+4p+8t$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression: $3+2(2p+4t)$

Using distributive property: $a \cdot(b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c$

Apply distributive property to a given equation we get;

$3+2\cdot (2p)+2 \cdot (4t)$

Simplify:

$3+4p+8t$

Therefore, the simplified expression of $3+2(2p+4t)$ is, $3+4p+8t$
