Question

Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression: \large{-7-4p-(-5)}−7−4p−(−5)​

Answer 1

Answer:

The final answer here is -4(2p+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Like terms are those where variables are

In the given equation there is only 1 variable p

The expression is given as {-7-4p-(-5)}−7−4p−(−5)​

Now here the like terms are both identical -4p and -4p

Thus the combined equation will become

= {-7-4p-(-5)}−7−4p−(−5)​

= - 7 - 4p + 5 - 7 - 4p + 5

= -8p + 10 - 14

= -8p-4

Now we can take -4 as comman

-4(2p+1)
