what is pq + 5p? i am revising and i am not sure of the answer?

pq + 5p =p (q + 5)

pq + 5p =
p(q + 5)

pq + 5p
= p(q) + p(5)
= p(q + 5)

pq + 5p
=p(q+5) answer//

pq means p multiplied by q.
You can't just add the 5p to pq, because the p in pq has already been multiplied by q
So pq + 5p is what it is.

There is a common factor of p though, so you could say p(q+5)

You could possibly factor out the p and get p(q+5) but your answer is really in simplest form as pq+5p

:]

dear josh all u need is to take common
that is
pq+5p
as clear p is common in both expressions thus take p common
we have
p(q+5)

thats ur answer i hope this help!and keep enjoying maths..
