Rewrite in simplest terms: 9, left bracket, minus, 6, p, minus, 4, right bracket, plus, 3, left bracket, 3, p, minus, 5, right bracket9(−6p−4)+3(3p−5)
To simplify the expression 9(−6p−4)+3(3p−5), we need to distribute the numbers in the brackets.
First, let's distribute 9 to the terms inside the first bracket:
9(−6p−4) = −54p − 36
Next, let's distribute 3 to the terms inside the second bracket:
3(3p−5) = 9p − 15
Now we can rewrite the expression in simplest terms, combining like terms, if possible:
−54p − 36 + 9p − 15
Combining like terms, we have:
(-54p + 9p) + (-36 - 15) = -45p - 51
So, the simplified form of 9(−6p−4)+3(3p−5) is -45p - 51.
