Remember to follow PEMDAS, and to only combine terms with like variables.
First, distribute the 2 to all terms within the parenthesis:
2(2p + 4t) = 2(2p) + 2(4t) = 4p + 8t
3 + 4p + 8t, or (D), is your answer choice, for it cannot be simplified anymore.

Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 26 or 24 because I didn't understand what you have written after +
No.
Since w = 8, you must replace the variable with the number associated to it.
So, it would be 5 + 8 = 58
5 + 8 is not equal to 58, it is equal to 13.
If you wanted to find out what w was, simply subtract 5 on both sides.
w = 58 - 5
