Answer 1

SOLUTIONS

11q + 5q – 2q + q

To simplify this type of expression, we group the positive and negative terms separately before finally simplifying it.

(a) 11q + 5q – 2q + q =

11q + 5q + q – 2q

= 16q – 2q

= 14q

(b) 20p – 9p – p +2p =

20p + 2p – 9p – p

= 22p – 10p

= 12p

(c) 4(p + 2q) + 3(p + 2q)

4p + 8q + 3p + 6q

collect like terms

4p + 3p + 8q + 6q

7p + 14q
