Question

Find the sum of 5m + 3n + p, -5p + 3n, and 2n - m.

Answer 1

group like terms and solve

Answer 2

Since you are adding two polynomials, rewrite them with an addition sign between them.
Then combine like terms.

Answer 3

would it be 4m+8n+4p

Answer 4

?

Answer 5

add m to m n to n and p to p terms...

Answer 6

5m + 3n + p + (-5p) + 3n + 2n - m
You are correct with m and n, but check the p term.

Answer 7

would it be - ?

Answer 8

Yes, since you are adding p to -5p

Answer 9

4m+8n-4p?

Answer 10

?

Answer 11

\(\color{red}{5m} + \color{blue}{3n} + p + (-5p) + \color{blue}{3n} + \color{blue}{2n} \color{red}{- m}\)

\(=\color{red}{5m - m} + \color{blue}{3n + 3n + 2n} + p + (-5p)\)

\(=\color{red}{4m} + \color{blue}{8n} -4p\)

Answer 12

Correct.
