Question

3( 2p - 5) - 6p
need help please​

Answer 1

-15

Explanation:

We have the expression 3(2p - 5) - 6p and are asked to simplify.

Let's distribute, which is to multiply a number that is outside of a parenthesis bracket by the numbers inside the parenthesis.

3(2p - 5) - 6p

(3(2p) - 3(5)) - 6p

6p - 15 - 6p

Since you can only do changes to like terms and 15 and 6p are two different terms, we do 6p - 6p.

6p - 6p

0

Leaving us with -15.

Answer 2

-15

Explanation:

Simplify each term.

6p - 15 - 6p

Combine the opposite terms:

Subtract 6p from 6p

0 - 15

Subtract 0 from 15

-15

good luck, hope this helps :)
