vybez:

explain? how-

Florisalreadytaken:

\[ -4 p+(-2)+2 p+3 \] we a nsee that \( -4 p \) and \( 2 p \) are in the same form, as they include \(p\) we can also see that \( (-2) \) and \( 3 \) are natural numbers that said, we just change their position to make it easier and more simple: \[ -4 p+2 p+(-2)+3 \]

DestructoGaming:

It is pretty much like adding -4 +2 and -2 +3. Then add your variables back into your equation for an answer of -2p + 1.

Extrinix:

I am confused. I only replied twice.

Florisalreadytaken:

including the previous post :)

Florisalreadytaken:

back to the question here, maybe you will understand it this way, if you dont have the idea of it yet \[ -4 p+2 p+(-2)+3 \Rightarrow (-4 p+2 p)+( \ (-2)+3 \ ) \]

vybez:

vybez:

-v/3-14/15 << i got that as my answer

Florisalreadytaken:

vybez:

simplified ._.

Florisalreadytaken:

idk what you call simplifying then haha it'd go like this tho: \[ (\color{lightskyblue}{-4 p+2 p})+ ( \ \color{tomato}{ (-2)+3} \ ) \] \[ \color{lightskyblue}{(-2p)}+ \ \color{tomato}{1} \]

vybez:

k

vybez:

-2p + 1, i took away the parentheses-

Florisalreadytaken:

its really the same thing -- it depends on what you teacher set the correct answer as, if its a pre-marking thing.

vybez:
