Question

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?

A. 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



B. 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 simpl

Answer 1

C. 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) 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



D. 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
