Answer:

a) 8x +6a

b) 5p +7q

Explanation:

These expressions are simplified by combining "like terms." That means adding the coefficients of terms with the same variable.

__

a)

3x +2a +5x +4a = (3 +5)x +(2 +4)a = 8x +6a

__

b)

7p +6q -2p +q = (7 -2)p +(6 +1)q = 5p +7q

A. 3x + 2a + 5x + 4a


3x \: + \: 2a \: + \: 5x \: + \: 4a

  • We group the terms that have the same literal part of monomial.


\boxed{ \bold{8x \: + \: 6a}}

B. 7p + 6q - 2p + 9


7p \: + \: 6q \: - \: 2p \: + \: 9

  • We group the terms that have the same literal part of monomial.


\boxed{ \bold{5p \: + \: 6q \: + \: 9}}
