Q. Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression:−4p+(−2)+2p+3=
Combine like terms involving : Combine the like terms that involve the variable . We have and 222p, which can be combined by adding the coefficients of p together.\newlineCalculation: −4-4−4p + 222p = −2-2−2p
Combine constant terms: Combine the constant terms, which are −2-2−2 and 333. These can be combined by adding the numbers together.\newlineCalculation: −2+3=1-2 + 3 = 1−2+3=1
Form simplified expression: Combine the results from the previous steps to form the simplified expression.\newlineCalculation: −2p+1-2p + 1−2p+1
