Question

Simplify 3p + 5p + p

Answer 1

We are given the following expression

`3p+5p+p`

Let us simplify the expression.

Notice that each term has the same variable (p) so we can simply add the coefficients of terms together.

`\begin{gathered} 3p+5p+p \\ \mleft(3+5+1\mright)p \\ (9)p \\ 9p \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the simplified expression is 9p
