1.-p+q+2(p+q)-p-q

What's the end result?

You can't figure out algebra without the end result, I believe. I have a few friends in pre-al..

It's distributive property and I'm lost @_@

1.-p+q+2(p+q)-p-q

You're supposed to simplify the equation?

Well try distributing the 2 first.

To distribute you multiply the outside number by each of the inside numbers.

ex. 2(1+3) = 2(1)+2(3), so you do the same thing in your equation only substitute the variables you have in your parenthesis for the 1 and 3 I had in mine.

From there just add and subtract all the remaining variables.

It's really simple once you get used to it, don't worry.

I know but what's the answer above???

[Lotad]

It shouldn't be that hard, but I'll give you what the bases are for each part...

2p - p - p = ?
2q + q - q = *
? + * = Answer

That should make it 99.9% easier...

If you know that, you should be able to solve it yourself. :tongue:

[whitedragon8903]

just distribute 2(p+q) = 2p+2q and combine like terms

I still don't know what is the answer.

I know distributive but I don't know this one.

-p+q+2(p+q)-p-q

-p+q+2p+2q-p-q

2p-p-p+2q+q-q

2q

I can explain if needed, but I hope you can see how to get the answer.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I dont learn this in 7th grade. Sooooooooo uhhhhhhhhhh 22?

[Ham and Cheese]

Dude, don't guess, and don't post if you don't know the answer.

1.-p+q+2(p+q)-p-q

here is your answer in red

-p+q+2(p+q)-p-q
p+2q thats my guess

[chanseypanty]

1.-p+q+2(p+q)-p-q

here is your answer in red

-p+q+2(p+q)-p-q
p+2q thats my guess
