12h+24p

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \((h + 12) + (p + 24)\), you combine the like terms:

1. Combine \(h\) and \(p\) as they are the variables.
2. Combine the constant terms \(12\) and \(24\).

So, the simplification looks like this:

\[ (h + 12) + (p + 24) = h + p + (12 + 24) = h + p + 36 \]

The simplified expression is h + p + 36.

Therefore, the correct response is:

h + p + 36.
