Question

Expand −5 over 8(3p+8) .

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Expanding -5 over 8(3p+8) can be done by distributing the -5 over the terms inside the parentheses.

-5 is multiplied by each of the terms 3p and 8:

-5 * 3p = -15p

-5 * 8 = -40

Therefore, -5 over 8(3p+8) can be expanded to -15p - 40.

Answer 2

But the answer choices are

−15 over 8 + 3p

−15p + (−40)

3p + 8

−15 over 8 p−5

I apologize for the confusion. Let's expand -5 over 8(3p+8) correctly.

To expand -5 over 8(3p+8), we will multiply -5 by each term inside the parentheses:

-5 * 3p = -15p
-5 * 8 = -40

Therefore, the expanded form of -5 over 8(3p+8) is -15p - 40.

Answer 4

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To expand the expression −5 over 8(3p+8), we need to distribute the −5 over both terms within the parentheses:

So, we have:

−5 * 3p − 5 * 8

Now, multiply:

−15p − 40

Therefore, the expanded form of −5 over 8(3p+8) is −15p − 40.

Answer 5

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To expand the expression −5 over 8(3p+8), we need to distribute the −5 over the terms inside the parentheses.

First, distribute the −5 over 3p:

−5 * 3p = −15p

Next, distribute the −5 over 8:

−5 * 8 = −40

Therefore, the expanded expression is:

−15p − 40
