Simplify \(((5p+1)-2p\cdot4)(3)+(4-1\div3)(6p-9)\) to a much simpler expression of the form \(ap-b \) , where \(a\) and \(b\) are positive integers.
We can first distribute:
(5p)(3)+3+(-8p)(3)+24p-36+(-1/3)(6p)+3
=15p+3-24p+24p-36+-2p+3 ---Combine like terms---
=13p+3-36+3
=13p-30
Hope this helped!
