Hi there!
So what we need to do here is this...
Multiply -3/4 with there own parentheses and multiply 2 with it’s own parentthese also.
[tex]- \frac{3}{4} x 5p = 3 \frac{3}{4} p[/tex]
[tex]-\frac{3}{4} x 12 = 9[/tex]
Then do the second parenthese...
[tex]2x8=16[/tex]
[tex]2x - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{2}p[/tex]
Add them like this...
[tex]( 3 \frac{3}{4}p + 9 ) + ( 16 -\frac{1}{2}p )[/tex]
Simplflied it again.../ since 3 3/4 and 1/2 both have p, add them...
[tex]3 \frac{3}{4} + - \frac{1}{2}p=3 \frac{1}{4}p[/tex]
Add the rest:
[tex]3 \frac{1}{4}p+9+16[/tex]
