What is the simplified form of (4p-[2p-{3p-(p-2)}])?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (4p+2)

Direct answer: Option A, \(4p+2\). Work from the innermost brackets outward. First, \(p-2\) is subtracted from \(3p\): \(3p-(p-2)=3p-p+2=2p+2\). Next calculate the square-bracket part: \(2p-(2p+2)=-2\). Finally, the original expression is \(4p-(-2)=4p+2\), because subtracting a negative number becomes addition. Option A is therefore correct. Option B, \(4p-2\), forgets that the bracketed value is negative and treats subtraction incorrectly. Option C, \(2p+2\), stops after an intermediate step and is not the complete answer. Option D, \(2p-2\), has both the wrong coefficient and wrong constant. The safest method is to simplify inside first and carefully distribute each minus sign.
