Question

Geometry, geometry, geometry...oh my!

Answer 1

Samira wants to simplify the following expression.

2(2p + 3p) + 2(-3 + 1)

Which option has the correct steps listed out for simplifying the expression?
Answer

1) 2 (2p) + 2 (3p) + 2 (−3) + 2 (1) using distributive property of addition
2) 4p + 6p – 6 + 2 simplifying
3) p (4 + 6) − 6 + 2 using distributive property of addition
4) 10p − 4 simplifying


1) 4 + p + 2 + (−3) + 6 + p + 2 + 1 using distributive property of addition
2) p + p + 4 + 2 − 3 + 6 + 2 + 1 using commutative property of addition
3) p (1 + 1) 4 + 2 − 3 + 6 + 2 + 1 using distributive property of addition
4) 2p + 12 simplifying


1) 4p + 2 (−3) + 6p + 2 (1) using distributive property of addition
2) 4p − 6 + 6p + 2 simplifying
3) 4p + 6 − 6 + 2 using commutative property of addition
4) 4p + 2 simplifying


1) 2 + 2p −3 + 2 + 3p + 1 using distributive property of addition
2) 2p + 3p − 3 + 2 + 1 using commutative property of addition
3) 5p + 2 − 3 + 1 using associative property of addition
4) 5p simplifying

Answer 2

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow 4p + 6p - 6 + 2 }\)
\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow 10p - 4 }\)

Of course the first one, and also, this ain't geometry :/ this is algebra.

Answer 3

oh lol

Answer 4

Then why is it in on my Geometry worksheet?

Answer 5

Do you know how to solve this one?

Answer 6

Nope

Answer 7

Okay, remember this formula:

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow a(b + c) = ab + ac }\)

or

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow a(b - c)= ab - ac }\)

Easy, right? That's what this question involved! That's it!

Answer 8

Wow thanks teacher!

Answer 9

your my new math tutor!

Answer 10

Can I give you an easy one for practice?

Answer 11

lol

Answer 12

:p

Answer 13

I guess. But I'll probably get it wrong

Answer 14

I'm mathematically challenged

Answer 15

Naw, just see the formula for help:

\(\Large \color{purple}{\rightarrow 2p(3 + 4) }\)

Answer 16

Thanks!

Answer 17

If you have time, can you solve the question I gave you?

Answer 18

Sorry I'm tight on time

Answer 19

I have a lot of school to finish today

Answer 20

Okay!
