Simplify by expanding the following expression
9 - 6p
------- + 4
3
is the answer,
3 - 2p
------ + 4
3
If not were am I going wrong please
Thanks !!!
No. The next step should be
3 - 2p + 4
which can be further simplified to 7 -2p
Thank you !!!
To simplify the given expression by expanding, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Distribute the 3 to both terms in the numerator.
(9/3) - (6/3)p + 4
Step 2: Simplify the fractions in the numerator.
3 - 2p + 4
Step 3: Combine like terms in the numerator.
7 - 2p
Now let's compare this result with the expression you provided:
3 - 2p
-------
3
Your answer, 3 - 2p / 3, is correct! It matches the expanded and simplified expression 7 - 2p / 3. So, you are not going wrong and your answer is correct.
