Question

Collect like terms and simplify the expression:
17 p2 - 2p - 4p - 4p2 - 17p + 5​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\\ \tt{} = 17 {p}^{2} - 2p - 4p - 4p {}^{2} - 17p + 5$

The terms with same colors means they are like terms.

$\\ \tt{} = \red{17 {p}^{2} } - \blue{2p} - \blue{4p} - \red{4 {p}^{2} } - \blue{17p} + \green{5}$

$\\ \boxed{ \huge \boxed{ \tt{} =13 {p}^{2} - 23p + 5}}$

$\overbrace{ \underbrace{ \tt{} \purple{ \: \: Stay \: safe \: and \: God \: bless \: you! \: \: }}}$

$\gamma \\ \huge \boxed{ \ddot\smile}$
