Answer:

9p + 6q

Explanation:

Rewrite each expression

Combine like terms

13p - 4p + 6q

_____________________

When we have like terms, we can only add the ones that have the same symbols as endings, such as variables, exponents, etc. Therefore :

Add "p" values together :

13p - 4p

9p.

Now rewrite the expression, we cannot combine like terms with "p" and "q" because they are not the same variable :

9p + 6q
