Complete the following stepped-out solution to show that 3+7(p−11)
is equivalent to 7⋅p−74
.(2 points)
3+7(p−11)
3+7⋅p−7⋅
Apply the Distributive Property and multiply.
3+7⋅p−
7⋅p+3−
Apply the Commutative Property of Addition and subtract.
7⋅p−74
3 + 7(p−11)
= 3 + 7p - 7(11)
= 3 + 7p - 77
= 7p + 3 - 77
= 7p - 74
So, 3 + 7(p−11) is equivalent to 7⋅p−74.
but thats what I just said
Apologies for the repetition. The correct stepped-out solution is as follows:
3 + 7(p−11)
= 3 + 7p - 7(11)
= 3 + 7p - 77
= 7p + 3 - 77
= 7p - 74
So, 3 + 7(p−11) is indeed equivalent to 7⋅p−74.
