Mathematics

ScanSolve AI Answer

Answer

-4P + 2q

Step-by-step solution

3 steps

a)

  1. Group like terms.

    P+8q−5P−6q=(P−5P)+(8q−6q)P + 8q - 5P - 6q = (P - 5P) + (8q - 6q)

  2. Combine the like terms.

    P−5P=−4PP - 5P = -4P 8q−6q=2q8q - 6q = 2q

  3. Write the simplified expression.

    −4P+2q-4P + 2q
