p-5(2-3)+1

Addison -- Damon and I showed you how to solve your last two problems. Now it's your turn. We'll be happy to check your work.

p-(-4p)

is this right...

No.

How did you end up with two p's? Please try again.

well, there is actually another p after the 3. so it is p-5(2-3p)+1

so i did
p-5(2)-5(3p)+1
p-10-15p+1
p-(-5p)+1
p-(-4p)

Your problem says that you should multiply -5 * -2 and -5 * -3p

p-5(2-3p)+1
p - 10 + 15p + 1
16p - 9

well wered the 10 go

1 - 10 = -9
