expand and fully simplify 3(5p-6)-2p(3p-8)
You asked:
Simplify the expression: \(3 \cdot \left(5 p - 6\right) - 2 \cdot p \cdot \left(3 p - 8\right)\)
MathBot Answer:
Simplified:
\[ 3 \cdot \left(5 p - 6\right) - 2 \cdot p\left( 3 p - 8 \right) = - 2 p \left(3 p - 8\right) + 15 p - 18 \]
Expanded:
\[ 3 \cdot \left(5 p - 6\right) - 2 \cdot p\left( 3 p - 8 \right) = - 6 p^{2} + 31 p - 18 \]
Factored:
\[ 3 \cdot \left(5 p - 6\right) - 2 \cdot p\left( 3 p - 8 \right) = - \left(2 p - 9\right) \left(3 p - 2\right) \]
