Answer:
Option B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is

We need to find an expression which is equivalent to the given expression.
Combine like terms.


The simplified form of given expression is 8p-9. So, option A is incorrect.
In option B, the given expression


Using distributive property, we get

Combined liker terms.


It is same as the simplified form of given expression.
Therefore, the expression 3(p+(-3))+5p is equivalent to the given expression and correct option is B.
the answer is 7 because all of the other numbers opposites aren't negative
Could you please provide the equation and the rest of the question?
There is a chance of 1/16*1/15 that she gets the specific socks pair according to laws of probability and the counting principle but thats not how it will work over here.
As we should be guaranteed that she gets the number of socks she obviously must take out around 9 socks as we are taking the worst case scenario where all the socks that come out are the different ones so the ninth sock must match any of the others.
But if we draw three socks obviously the probability is 1/16*1/15*13/14 as we dont want the third one to be same. We can multiply the answer by 3 as it can be in three different orders.
