Q. Simplify to create an equivalent expression.1+4(6p−9)Choose 1 answer:(A) 6p−35(B) 24p−35(C) 24p−36(D) 6p−36
Identify terms for distribution: Identify the terms that need to be distributed and simplified.We have the expression 1+4(6p−9), where the 4 needs to be distributed to both 6p and −9.
Distribute 4 to terms inside parentheses: Distribute the 4 to both terms inside the parentheses.4×6p=24p4×(−9)=−36So, the expression becomes 1+24p−36.
Combine constant terms: Combine the constant terms in the expression.We have 1 and −36 as constant terms.1−36=−35So, the expression now is 24p−35.
