Answer:

B. 6.5p + 24

Explanation:

We presume you wan to simplify the given expression. Eliminate parentheses and collect terms.

19.7 + 6.5(p + q) – 5.6q + 4.3 – 0.9q

= 19.7 + 6.5p +6.5q -5.6q +4.3 -0.9q

= 6.5p +(6.5 -5.6 -0.9)q +(19.7 +4.3) . . . . group like terms

= 6.5p + 24 . . . . matches choice B
