Question

I'll Give A MEDAL! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! >:(
Simplify by combining like terms.

12p + 5m + p - 4m – 6p

7p + m

19p + 9m

6p + 9m

7p – m

Answer 1

12p + 5m + p - 4m - 6p = 12p + p - 6p + 5m - 4m = p(12 + 1 - 6) + m(5 - 4) = 7p + m

Answer 2

12p + p -6p + 5m - 4m
= 13p - 6p + m
=7p + m

Answer 3

Thanks!

Answer 4

Add up the p's together as they are like terms and subtract the m's from each other as they are alike.
