Question

$$2(p-3)+5(3-2p)$$

Evaluate

$9-8p$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply $2$ by $p-3$.

$$2p-6+5\left(3-2p\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $5$ by $3-2p$.

$$2p-6+15-10p$$

Add $-6$ and $15$ to get $9$.

$$2p+9-10p$$

Combine $2p$ and $-10p$ to get $-8p$.

$$-8p+9$$
