(5 • 1/2p) – (2 • 7)
(5 • 1/2 p ) – (2 • 7)

(1/2p • 5 • 7) – 2
(1/2 p • 5 • 7) – 2

5(1/2p – 2) • 7
5(1/2 p – 2) • 7

(1/2p • 5) – (7 • 2)
(1/2 p • 5) – (7 • 2)

(1/2p • 5 – 2) • 7

Answer 1

The two equivalent expressions are:

- (5 • 1/2 p) – (2 • 7)
- (1/2 p • 5) – (7 • 2)

Reason: Both simplify to (5/2)p − 14 (since 5*(1/2)p = (5/2)p and 2•7 = 14).
