Pls help (15 points)

In basketball, players earn 2 points per basket, 3 points for a long shot, and 1 point
for each free throw.
Ethan's team makes m baskets, n long shots, and p free throws. Use 2m+3n+1p to
determine how many points his team earned if m= 14, n = 8, and p = 7.

Answer:

if m=14, n=8, and p=7 then (2*14)+(3*8)+(1*7)=59. Ethan's team scored 59 points.

28 + 24 + 7 (i added 28 and 7 first because they're both factors of 7)

35 + 24 (add)

59 points (your answer)
