Question

hello please help me with this expand question 3(p+5)-3(p+2) and please simplify

Answer 1

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

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

3 x p is 3p

3 x 5 is 15

so the first half of the sequence is 3p+15

then -3p x p is -3p and -3 + 2 is -3p + 6

so it is 3p + 15 - 3p + 6

3p-3p is nothing then +15 - 6 is 9

which then goes to 9

9

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3(p + 5) - 3(p+2) = 3*p + 3*5 + (-3)*p + (-3)*2

                         = 3p + 15 - 3p - 6   {Bring the like terms together}

                        =  3p - 3p + 15 - 6

                       = 0 + 9

                      = 9
