Answer:

5p + 2(p-2)

simplified to: 7p-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Q. states that shop opens for p hours on weekdays

this means that to find the total number of hours on weekdays it would be 5 times p, thus 5p

On weekends, "shop opens 2 hours less" , which means 2 hours less than p.

Thus hours for both saturday and sunday

2(p-2)

Total would be adding those two together

5p + 2(p-2)

expand 2(p-2)  = 2p-4

thus, 7p-4
