Question

3(2p+1)+9p+2

Answer 1

My hch here is that they want you to combine like terms.

3(2p + 1) + 9p + 2 =

First distribute the first term

6p + 3 + 9p + 2 =

Now combine like terms

15p + 5 =

Now, if desired, you can factor out like terms:

5(3p + 1)

Answer 2

First, distribute the 3 through the parentheses:

 

= 3*2p+3*1+9p+2

= 6p+3+9p+2

 

Next, gather and combine like terms:

 

= 6p+9p + 3 +2

= 15p + 5

 

And that's your final answer: 15p+5
