i need to simplify (h + 12) + (p +24)
h + p + 36.
Actually, it was already simple!
sooo do i need to set the letters aside after that and then solve it or would it be 12h + 24p?
oh! ok then! thx
To simplify the expression (h + 12) + (p + 24), you can use the distributive property and combine like terms.
Step 1: Start by removing the parentheses.
(h + 12) + (p + 24) becomes h + 12 + p + 24.
Step 2: Rearrange the terms.
Rearrange the terms so that the variables are together and the constants are together.
(h + p) + (12 + 24).
Step 3: Combine like terms.
Combine the variables (h + p) and the constants (12 + 24).
The simplified expression is h + p + 36.
There is nothing to simplify here.
It's already simplified.
