Answer:

 [tex]\boxed{18q+31}[/tex]

Solution Steps:

______________________________

1.) Use distributive property to multiply the parenthesis:

  • [tex]2[/tex] × [tex](8+3q)=16+6q[/tex]
  • [tex]3[/tex] × [tex](4q+5)=12q+15[/tex]

 - You do this because you always solve parenthesis first.

Equation at the end of Step 1:

  • [tex]16+6q+12q+15[/tex]

2.) Combine like terms:

  • [tex]6q+12q=18q[/tex]

 - You do this because you can't have more than one variable.

Equation at the end of Step 2:

  • [tex]16+18q+15[/tex]

3.) Add:

  • [tex]16+15=31[/tex]

Equation at the end of Step 3:

  • [tex]18q+31[/tex]
