Let\u2019s break down and simplify this expression step by step <strong>and<\/strong> go into detail so it all makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Expression:<\/strong><br>\ud83d\udc49 4n+3(n\u22125)+24n + 3(n &#8211; 5) + 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2705 Step 1: Distribute<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the expression 3(n\u22125)3(n &#8211; 5), we use the <strong>distributive property<\/strong>. That means we multiply the 3 by <strong>everything inside the parentheses<\/strong>: 3(n\u22125)=3\u22c5n\u22123\u22c55=3n\u2212153(n &#8211; 5) = 3 \\cdot n &#8211; 3 \\cdot 5 = 3n &#8211; 15<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So now the expression becomes: 4n+3n\u221215+24n + 3n &#8211; 15 + 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2705 Step 2: Combine Like Terms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Like terms&#8221; are terms that have the same variable part. So let\u2019s group them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>4n+3n=7n4n + 3n = 7n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u221215+2=\u221213-15 + 2 = -13<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So the whole expression simplifies to: 7n\u221213\\boxed{7n &#8211; 13}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u270f\ufe0f Full Explanation (300 words)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s slow down and explain every part in simple terms. The original expression was:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4n+3(n\u22125)+24n + 3(n &#8211; 5) + 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This kind of math problem is about <strong>simplifying<\/strong>\u2014which means making it shorter and easier to understand without changing what it means. Think of it like cleaning up a messy sentence into something clearer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, look at the <strong>parentheses<\/strong>: (n\u22125)(n &#8211; 5). You can&#8217;t add or subtract the terms yet because there\u2019s a <strong>3 in front<\/strong>, and it needs to be multiplied by <strong>everything inside<\/strong>. This is called <strong>distribution<\/strong>. So we do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>3\u22c5n=3n3 \\cdot n = 3n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3\u22c5\u22125=\u2212153 \\cdot -5 = -15<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So the middle part becomes 3n\u2212153n &#8211; 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now substitute that back into the whole thing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4n+3n\u221215+24n + 3n &#8211; 15 + 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now just <strong>combine like terms<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>4n+3n=7n4n + 3n = 7n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u221215+2=\u221213-15 + 2 = -13<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So the final answer is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2705 <strong>7n\u221213\\boxed{7n &#8211; 13}<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You did great by asking!
