rewrite in simplest terms: 10(7p + 6) - 5(5p + 4)

Explanation:

Step1: Expand the expressions

$10(7p + 6)=10\times7p+10\times6 = 70p+60$ and $5(5p + 4)=5\times5p+5\times4=25p + 20$. So the original expression becomes $70p+60-(25p + 20)$.

Step2: Remove the parentheses

$70p+60 - 25p-20$.

Step3: Combine like - terms

$(70p-25p)+(60 - 20)=45p + 40$.

Answer:

$45p + 40$
