A. -4Q +12

B. 2/5p - 4Q +12

C. 28Q +12

D. 28Q +24


Sagot :

A. -4q+12 sorry it’s it’s wrong

Answer:

We conclude that:

[tex]\frac{18p}{5}+12q+18-\frac{18p}{5}-16q-6=-4q+12[/tex]

Hence, option A is true.                    

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

[tex]3\left(\frac{6}{5}p+4q+6\right)-2\left(\frac{9}{5}p+8q+3\right)[/tex]

solving the expression

[tex]3\left(\frac{6}{5}p\:+\:4q\:+\:6\right)\:-\:2\left(\frac{9}{5}p\:+\:8q\:+\:3\right)=3\left(\frac{6p}{5}+4q+6\right)-2\left(\frac{9p}{5}+8q+3\right)[/tex]

Expand  [tex]3\left(\frac{6p}{5}+4q+6\right)=\frac{18p}{5}+12q+18[/tex]

                                                           [tex]=\frac{18p}{5}+12q+18-2\left(\frac{9p}{5}+8q+3\right)[/tex]

Expand  [tex]-2\left(\frac{9p}{5}+8q+3\right)=-\frac{18p}{5}-16q-6[/tex]

                                                             [tex]=\frac{18p}{5}+12q+18-\frac{18p}{5}-16q-6[/tex]

Group like terms:                                

                                                             [tex]=\frac{18p}{5}-\frac{18p}{5}+12q-16q+18-6[/tex]

Add similar elements: [tex]\frac{18p}{5}-\frac{18p}{5}=0[/tex]

                                                               [tex]=12q-16q+18-6[/tex]

Add similar elements:  12q-16q=-4q

                                                                [tex]=-4q+18-6[/tex]

                                                                [tex]=-4q+12[/tex]

Therefore, we conclude that:

[tex]\frac{18p}{5}+12q+18-\frac{18p}{5}-16q-6=-4q+12[/tex]

Hence, option A is true.
