What would the expression to show 15 more than p reduced by 8 be?

15 + (p - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

(p - 8) + 15

OR p + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The original expression would be (p - 8) + 15.

p - 8 is the same as "p reduced by 8". The +15 shows the "15 more" part.

Since there is only addition and subtraction in the expression, it can be simplified.

(p - 8) + 15    <= remove the brackets

= p - 8 + 15    <= collect like terms (numbers with the same variables)

= p + 7
