2p(9p − 1) pls help will give brainiest

18p²-2p

Working:

• We multiply everything inside the brackets by what is outside the brackets
- So, we multiply 9p - 1 by 2p
- To do 9p x 2p we multiply the coefficients first (the number before the letter), which gives us 18 (9 x 2)
- Then we multiply the letters, p x p which gives us p²
- Then add the two things together which gives us 18p²

• Then we do -1 x 2p, which we do in the same way as before
- This gives us -2p
- Using both of these we put them back together which gives us:

• 18p² - 2p
