Expand −5/8(3p+8).(1 point)
Responses
To expand -5/8(3p+8), we will distribute -5/8 to both terms inside the parentheses:
-5/8 * 3p + (-5/8) * 8
Simplifying this expression:
(-15/8)p + (-40/8)
Combining like terms:
-(15p + 40)/8
Expand −5/8 (3p+8).(1 point)
To expand -5/8(3p+8), we distribute -5/8 to both terms inside the parentheses:
-5/8 * 3p + (-5/8) * 8
