p-5(2-3)+1
Addison -- Damon and I showed you how to solve your last two problems. Now it's your turn. We'll be happy to check your work.
p-(-4p)
is this right...
No.
How did you end up with two p's? Please try again.
well, there is actually another p after the 3. so it is p-5(2-3p)+1
so i did
p-5(2)-5(3p)+1
p-10-15p+1
p-(-5p)+1
p-(-4p)
Your problem says that you should multiply -5 * -2 and -5 * -3p
p-5(2-3p)+1
p - 10 + 15p + 1
16p - 9
well wered the 10 go
1 - 10 = -9
To simplify the expression p - 5(2 - 3) + 1, we can follow the order of operations, which is often remembered using the acronym PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).
1. Start with the expression inside the parentheses: 2 - 3. This yields -1.
Now the expression becomes p - 5(-1) + 1.
2. Perform the multiplication: -5 * (-1). Multiplying a negative number by a negative number yields a positive number, so -5 * (-1) equals 5.
The expression now becomes p + 5 + 1.
3. Perform the addition: p + 5 + 1. Adding 5 and 1 gives us 6.
The simplified expression is p + 6.
So, p - 5(2 - 3) + 1 simplifies to p + 6.
