Combine like terms:
(6x+35x)+(8y+45y)+(16+15)=41x+53y+31
Answer: 41x+53y+31
(b) 7(4x−2y−5)−3(2x−5y−8)
Expand both terms:
7(4x−2y−5)=28x−14y−35
−3(2x−5y−8)=−6x+15y+24
Combine like terms:
(28x−6x)+(−14y+15y)+(−35+24)=22x+y−11
Answer: 22x+y−11
(c) 6(2a+5b−8)−5(4a−8b−1)
Expand both terms:
6(2a+5b−8)=12a+30b−48
−5(4a−8b−1)=−20a+40b+5
Combine like terms:
(12a−20a)+(30b+40b)+(−48+5)=−8a+70b−43
Answer: −8a+70b−43
(d) 4(3c+5d−2)+6(2c+8d−3)
Expand both terms:
4(3c+5d−2)=12c+20d−8
6(2c+8d−3)=12c+48d−18
Combine like terms:
(12c+12c)+(20d+48d)+(−8−18)=24c+68d−26
Answer: 24c+68d−26
(e) 3(5g+8h−3)−4(2g+6h+5)
Expand both terms:
3(5g+8h−3)=15g+24h−9
−4(2g+6h+5)=−8g−24h−20
Combine like terms:
(15g−8g)+(24h−24h)+(−9−20)=7g−29
Answer: 7g−29
Question 6: Multiply out each of the following:
(a) 5x(3x2−6)
Distribute 5x:
5x(3x2−6)=15x3−30x
Answer: 15x3−30x
(b) 7p(4+2p2)
Distribute 7p:
7p(4+2p2)=28p+14p3
Answer: 28p+14p3
(c) 4h(6h2−5)
Distribute 4h:
4h(6h2−5)=24h3−20h
Answer: 24h3−20h
(d) 8t(2t2+7)
Distribute 8t:
8t(2t2+7)=16t3+56t
Answer: 16t3+56t
(e) 3c(8−3c2)
Distribute 3c:
3c(8−3c2)=24c−9c3
Answer: 24c−9c3
