simplify expression 2(p+4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply 2 by all the terms in the parenthesis one by one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then it will be 2(p+6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4(p+8)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. Its (2*p) + (2*4) I hope you can simplify further on your own.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i cant

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

It was already simplified in the beginning. The problem statement should read, "Apply the distributive property to the following expression."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have to simpliy it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2*p is just 2p and 2*4 is 8 so the final form should be 2p+8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you , do you mind helping me with more math problems ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2(s-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just post your problems and someone will surely help you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2(s-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This problem uses the same principle as the previous one. multiply 2 by the inner terms one at a time.
