An equivalent expression to p/6+(7+8) is (p+90)/6.

The expression p/6+(7+8) simplifies to p/6+15.

To find an equivalent expression, consider the distributive property, which allows us to factor out a common term. We can rewrite the expression as

p/6+15=p/6+15×1.

This is equivalent to p +15× 6/6 , which simplifies to

p+90/6

Therefore, an equivalent expression to p/6+(7+8) is (p+90)/6.

This expression retains the same mathematical value as the initial expression but is represented in a different form by factoring out a common factor and combining terms to achieve a more compact representation.
