Kaleb Harris · Answer 1

3 (p + 4m) + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

This expression cannot be simplified, although you could rewrite it as

3 (p + 4m) + 8. At least this result is "equivalent" to 3p+12m+8.

Tess Mcdowell · Answer 2

An equivalent expression would be 3 (p + 4m) + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we need to find greatest common factors for any of these terms. You can either choose the first two or the last two to have common factors. For the purpose of this, we'll choose the first two which have common factors of 3. We can pull a 3 out of the first two terms and express as such:

3 (p + 4m) + 8
