Answer:

-5p+99

Explanation:

Original Equation;

3(p - 29) - 4(2p - 39 -5)

First Step: Multiply the number 3 by p and -29 which is in the first term so it's going to be;

3 multiplied by p and 3 multiplied by -29

3p - 87

Second step: Add the -39 and -5 which is going to give you -44 because - + - is = -

-44

Third step: Multiply -4 by 2p and -44 so it's going to be;

-4×2p=-8p and -4×-44=176 we have positive 176 because - × - = +

Fourth Step: Remove brackets

So it's going to be;

3p - 87 -8p +176

Then you combine like terms

3p - 8p - 87 +176

-5p + 99

3(p-29)-4(2p-39-5)

3p-87-4(2p-44)

3p-87-8p+176

3p-8p-87+176

-5p+99
