simplify each expression.

1) 3(2p - 4) - (p + 8)=

2) -3(n + 3) - (n - 6)=

3) -4(7 + 5b) - 5(7b + 6)=

4) 8(2 - 5p) - (p - 6)

5) 8(n + 2) + 8(2n - 7)

6) -(6x + 4) - 2(-x + 1)

1) 5p - 4     2) -4n - 3   3) -55b -58   4) -41p + 22   5) 24n - 40   6) -4x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 3(2p - 4) - (p + 8)= 6p - 12 - p + 8  = 5p - 4

2) -3(n + 3) - (n - 6)= -3n - 9 - n + 6 = -4n - 3

3) -4(7 + 5b) - 5(7b + 6)= -28 - 20b - 35b - 30 = -55b -58

4) 8(2 - 5p) - (p - 6)= 16 - 40p - p + 6 = -41p + 22

5) 8(n + 2) + 8(2n - 7)= 8n + 16 + 16n - 56 = 24n - 40

6) -(6x + 4) - 2(-x + 1)= -6x - 4 + 2x - 2 = -4x - 6

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!
