You asked:

Simplify the expression: 3(4p−3)−4(2p+5)3 \left(4 p - 3\right) - 4 \left(2 p + 5\right)

MathBot Answer:

Simplified:

3(4p−3)−4(2p+5)=4p−29 3 \left(4 p - 3\right) - 4 \left(2 p + 5\right) = 4 p - 29

3⋅(4p−3)−4⋅(2p+5)=3⋅(4p−3)−8p+20=12p−9−8p+20=−8p−20+12p−9=4p−29\begin{aligned}3 \cdot \left(4 p - 3\right) - 4 \cdot \left(2 p + 5\right)&=3 \cdot \left(4 p - 3\right) - 8 p + 20\\&=12 p - 9 - 8 p + 20\\&=- 8 p - 20 + 12 p - 9\\&=4 p - 29\end{aligned}
