All 27 students in Joe’s class bought the same items. The expression below shows the total spent by ALL 27 students: 27(2p + 4e + 10p + 20)
a) What property can be used to simplify the expression:



b) Simplify the expression:

I will give you the explanation, figure out the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this expression, you need to distribute 27 into the expression inside the parantheses.

Distributing will look like this:

(27 x 2p) + (27 x 4e) + (27 x 10p) + (27 x 20)

Now to get the simplified version of this expression, you just need to multiply and combine like terms!

1. 3.4/4

2. 0.8/7

3. 0.5 x 3

4. 0.9 x 6

5. 10.8

6. 2.35

7. 0.567

8. 9.35

9. 0.02

10. 0.06

11. 0.16

12. 0.42

13. 0.63

14. 5.6

15. 8.1

16. 9.9

17. 0.28

18. 0.48

19. 0.27

20. 0.49

21. 0.45

22. 0.72

23. 0.9

24. 0.88

25. 0.75

26. 0.16

27. 0.328

28. 0.495

29. 0.72

30. 1.068

the function makes a strait line horizontally with no x intercept but a y intercept at 9.
