4+5(p-1) how to expand brackets and then simplify

Step-by-step explanation:

these are multiplications.

you could also write

4 + 5×(p - 1)

now, we need to calculate the contents of brackets (if we can), then do the multiplications and divisions, before we can do the then remaining additions and subtractions.

if we cannot do a calculation directly (because there is a variable involved), we need to do and document the single steps for the individual parts involved.

so,

4 + 5×(p - 1) = 4 + 5×p + 5×-1 = 4 + 5p - 5 = 5p - 1

remember, a multiplication of 2 expressions is done by multiplying every term of one expression with every term of the other expression and adding the results up (by considering their individual signs, of course).

its definatley   this on your answer choice?
