Question 684006: What is 3p + 2 -(2p - 4)
Answer by rapaljer(4671)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This one is called the Distributive Property. It might help to think of it as
3p + 2 -1(2p - 4)
3p + 2 -2p + 4
3p - 2p + 2 + 4
p + 6
I have a LOT of explanations, examples, and FULL COLOR solutions to problems like this on my own website.
To see my website go to www.mathinlivingcolor.com, named after my theme "Math in Living Color." Look for a single link near the bottom of this page that will take you to my Homepage. Once on my Homepage, look for "Basic, Intermediate and College Algebra: One Step at a Time", and select "Basic Algebra". Look in "Chapter 1" for "Section 1.06".
If you have questions on other topics, just send me an Email! I'll be glad to help you find the right page on my website. I hope you like my website and that you will recommend it to family and friends! Remember, my goal is to make math EASIER than your own textbook is making it, and it's ALL FREE!!!
