Question

Select the expression that is NOT equivalent to 35p+25

A 5(5+3p+4p)
B 5(15p+5+20p)
C 5(5+7p)
D 5(4p+3p+5)

Answer 1

35p + 25

A) 5(5 + 3p + 4p)
= 25 + 15p + 20p
= 35p + 25

B) 5(15p + 5 + 20p)
= 75p + 25 + 100p
= 175p + 25

C) 5(5 + 7p)
= 35p + 25

D) 5(4p + 3p + 5)
= 20p + 15p + 25
= 35p + 25

So, in conclusion, option B is incorrect because it does not equal to: 35p + 25 whereas all the other options do.
