Answer 1

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

3 + 4p + 8t

Answer 2

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

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`
