Simplify 20 + (2 + r). r + 22 22r 20r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 22+r because 20+(2+r) is basically 20+2+r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when the question is 20(2+r) than the answer will be 40+20r which is different

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought you had to simplify what is in the parenthesis first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you usually do but in this case there is nothing in the parenthesis for you to simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay. Thank you for explaining:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem glad to help :)
