Question

You Guys please help me, I need help studying, and My mom will not help me!

Simplify using Distributive Property
(3p+2)(5p-1)

Answer 1

are you familiar with the FOIL method ?

Answer 2

Yes, I'm just not good at it.

Answer 3

First, Outside, Inside, Last

First -- multiply the first terms in each set ...3p * 5p = 15p^2
Outside -- multiply the outside terms in each set ..3p * -1 = -3p
Inside -- multiply the inside terms in each set...2 * 5p = 10p
Last -- multiply the last terms in each set...2 * -1 = -2

now put it all together...
15p^2 - 3p + 10p - 2
combine like terms
15p^2 + 7p - 2
