Here, we want to solve find the value of the expression
We start by opening up the brackets and then, we bring together like terms
We have this as;
[tex]\begin{gathered} (9.74c-250.5)+(-5.48p+185.70) \\ =\text{ 9.74c - 250.5 -5.48p+185.7} \\ =\text{ 9.74c-5.48p-250.5+185.7} \\ =\text{ 9.74c-5.48p-64.80} \end{gathered}[/tex]
