Question

Expand & simplify 6 ( p + 6 ) + 2 ( p + 4 )

Answer 1

= 6p + 36 +2p + 8
= 8p + 44

Answer 2

Solution: 8p+44

Detailed explanation:

First we can "expand" by multiplying 6 times the parentheses and then 2 times the other set of parentheses.

$--\mapsto\boldsymbol{6(p+6)+2(p+4)}\\\\---\mapsto\boldsymbol{6p+36+2p+8}$

To make life easier let's just put the p's next to each other.

$--\mapsto\boldsymbol{6p+2p+36+8}$

Now let's add the p's

$---\mapsto\boldsymbol{8p+44}$

Voila! There's our answer!

Cheers! ^-^
