Question

Simply 2p(p+2)-3p(2p-3) =

Answer 1

Answer:

p (13 - 4 p)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

2 p (p + 2) - 3 p (2 p - 3)

Hint: | Pull a common factor out of 2 p (p + 2) - 3 p (2 p - 3).

Factor p out of 2 p (p + 2) - 3 p (2 p - 3), resulting in p (2 (p + 2) - 3 (2 p - 3)):

p (2 (p + 2) - 3 (2 p - 3))

Hint: | Distribute 2 over p + 2.

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

p (2 p + 4 - 3 (2 p - 3))

Hint: | Distribute -3 over 2 p - 3.

-3 (2 p - 3) = 9 - 6 p:

p (2 p + 9 - 6 p + 4)

Hint: | Group like terms in 2 p - 6 p + 4 + 9.

Grouping like terms, 2 p - 6 p + 4 + 9 = (4 + 9) + (2 p - 6 p):

p (4 + 9) + (2 p - 6 p)

Hint: | Combine like terms in 2 p - 6 p.

2 p - 6 p = -4 p:

p (-4 p + (4 + 9))

Hint: | Evaluate 4 + 9.

4 + 9 = 13:

Answer: p (13 - 4 p)
