Question

Expand and simplify 3(4p - 3) - 4(2p+5)

Answer 1

4p−29.

Explanation:

To expand and simplify the expression (3(4p - 3) - 4(2p + 5)), distribute the coefficients outside the parentheses:

3(4p - 3) - 4(2p + 5)

Distribute 3 and -4:

12p - 9 - 8p - 20

Combine like terms:

(12p - 8p) + (-9 - 20)

4p - 29

So, the simplified expression is (4p - 29).
