simplify the product using the distributive property
(3p+2)(5p-1)
To simplify the product using the distributive property, we have to multiply each term in the first expression by each term in the second expression:
(3p)(5p) + (3p)(-1) + (2)(5p) + (2)(-1)
Simplifying this expression, we get:
15p^2 - 3p + 10p - 2
Combining like terms, we have:
15p^2 + 7p - 2
So, the simplified product using the distributive property is 15p^2 + 7p - 2.
