Expand 8 ( 3p + 2 )

Answer 1

To expand the expression \( 8(3p + 2) \), you distribute the 8 to both terms inside the parentheses:

\[ 8(3p) + 8(2) \]

Calculating each part:

\[ 8 \times 3p = 24p \] \[ 8 \times 2 = 16 \]

Now, combine the results:

\[ 24p + 16 \]

Thus, the expanded expression is:

\[ \boxed{24p + 16} \]
