Question

factor 24m-12p+72 to identify the equivalent expressions

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So really all you have to do is follow PEMDAS or Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiply, Divide, Add and Subtract. In this case there is no parenthesis so all you have to do is add 12p and 72 together (Because Adding in PEMDAS comes first) then subtract 24m which is 60.

so 12p + 72 is 84p

84p - 24m is 84p - 24m because you cannot subtract variables you keep it that way (variables always equal 1 if you do not know the exact value of the variable in this case you don't so you have to keep the variables to show that you solved the problem but can complete it fully).
