bot dead serious DO NOT make me fail dude because you always get things wrong
The simplified expression is h + p + 36h + p + 36.
To simplify the expression (h+12)+(p+24), you can combine like terms by adding the coefficients of h and p separately, and add the constants separately:
(h + 12) + (p + 24) = h + p + 36.
To simplify the expression (h+12)+(p+24), you need to simplify each grouping separately and then combine like terms.
First, simplify the grouping (h+12) by removing the parentheses:
h+12
Next, simplify the grouping (p+24) in the same way:
p+24
Now, combine the simplified groupings by adding like terms. Since there are no similar terms in the two groupings, the final simplified expression is simply:
h+12+p+24
This can also be written as:
h+p+12+24
Combining like terms:
h+p+36
Therefore, the simplified expression is h+p+36.
