Solution

Let’s go through each expression one by one and simplify them.

Expression c:

5(r+2s)+3(r+s)5(r + 2s) + 3(r + s) Expanding the terms: =5r+10s+3r+3s=(5r+3r)+(10s+3s)=8r+13s= 5r + 10s + 3r + 3s = (5r + 3r) + (10s + 3s) = 8r + 13s

Expression d:

3(2r2s)+4(r+3s)3(2r - 2s) + 4(r + 3s) Expanding the terms: =6r6s+4r+12s=(6r+4r)+(6s+12s)=10r+6s= 6r - 6s + 4r + 12s = (6r + 4r) + (-6s + 12s) = 10r + 6s

Expression e:

7(q4p)+6(2q+5p)7(q - 4p) + 6(2q + 5p) Expanding the terms: =7q28p+12q+30p=(7q+12q)+(28p+30p)=19q+2p= 7q - 28p + 12q + 30p = (7q + 12q) + (-28p + 30p) = 19q + 2p

Expression f:

4(3x4p)+6(2q+5p)4(3x - 4p) + 6(2q + 5p) Expanding the terms: =12x16p+12q+30p=12x+12q+(16p+30p)=12x+12q+14p= 12x - 16p + 12q + 30p = 12x + 12q + (-16p + 30p) = 12x + 12q + 14p

Expression g:

7(32z)+3(2z2)7(3 - 2z) + 3(2z - 2) Expanding the terms: =2114z+6z6=8z+15= 21 - 14z + 6z - 6 = -8z + 15

Expression h:

14+3(y+4)2y14 + 3(y + 4) - 2y Expanding the terms: =14+3y+122y=(3y2y)+(14+12)=y+26= 14 + 3y + 12 - 2y = (3y - 2y) + (14 + 12) = y + 26

Expression i:

7p+6(42p)77p + 6(4 - 2p) - 7 Expanding the terms: =7p+2412p7=(7p12p)+(247)=5p+17= 7p + 24 - 12p - 7 = (7p - 12p) + (24 - 7) = -5p + 17

Summary of Simplified Expressions:

  1. c: 8r+13s8r + 13s
  2. d: 10r+6s10r + 6s
  3. e: 19q+2p19q + 2p
  4. f: 12x+12q+14p12x + 12q + 14p
  5. g: 8z+15-8z + 15
  6. h: y+26y + 26
  7. i: 5p+17-5p + 17
