Clay Mccullough · Answer 1

Simplify the following:

3 + 2 (2 p + 4 t) + 6 + 5 p

Grouping like terms, 3 + 2 (2 p + 4 t) + 6 + 5 p = 2 (2 p + 4 t) + 5 p + (3 + 6):

2 (2 p + 4 t) + 5 p + (3 + 6)

3 + 6 = 9:

2 (2 p + 4 t) + 5 p + 9

2 (2 p + 4 t) = 4 p + 8 t:

4 p + 8 t + 5 p + 9

Grouping like terms, 4 p + 8 t + 5 p + 9 = 8 t + (4 p + 5 p) + 9:

8 t + (4 p + 5 p) + 9

4 p + 5 p = 9 p:

Answer: 8 t + 9 p + 9
