Question

Simplify:
3(2p + 3 + 4p)

Answer 1

Answer:

6p + 9 + 12p

18p + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

3(2p + 3 + 4p)

Multiply all the numbers by the outside number. ex: 3(2p + 9). Multiply 3 x 2 which is 6. then you multiply 3 x 9 which is 27. So the answer would be 6p + 28.

Pt 2. 3 times 2 is 6 so you get 6p. Then you multiply 3 times 3 which is 9. then 3 times 4p which is 6 p.

pt 3. combine the like terms. 6p + 12p equals 18p.

so the answer would be 18p + 9.

(I tried my best. please dont judge.

Answer 2

18p+9

Step-by-step explanation:

$3\left(2p+3+4p\right)$

$\mathrm{Simplify\;2p+3+4p=6p+3}$

$=3\left(6p+3\right)$

$Expand\;3(6p+3):18p+9$

$=18p+9$
