Eva forgot to distribute the 4. The correct expansion is \(8p - 12\).
Solución
Calculate or simplify the expression \( 4(2p-3) \).
Simplify the expression by following steps:
- step0: Solution:
\(4\left(2p-3\right)\)
- step1: Rearrange the terms:
\(8p-12\)
Eva's mistake is that she did not distribute the 4 correctly. The correct expansion of \(4(2p-3)\) is \(8p-12\).

Bonus Knowledge
Eva likely made a mistake in distributing the \(4\) across both terms in the parentheses. The correct process is to multiply \(4\) by both \(2p\) and \(-3\). So instead of simply writing down the expression again, the right calculation should be: 1. \(4 \cdot 2p = 8p\) 2. \(4 \cdot -3 = -12\) Putting it together, Eva should have written the expanded expression as \(8p - 12\).
