simplify (3p + 2)(5p – 1)

15p^2 + 8p - 2

are you sure

Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let's simplify the expression correctly this time:

(3p + 2)(5p - 1)

Using the distributive property, we multiply each term in the first set of parentheses by each term in the second set of parentheses:

= 3p * 5p + 3p * (-1) + 2 * 5p + 2 * (-1)
= 15p^2 - 3p + 10p - 2
= 15p^2 + 7p - 2

Therefore, (3p + 2)(5p - 1) simplifies to 15p^2 + 7p - 2.
