Answer:

D) 15.9p + (−13)

Explanation:

use the answer choices to narrow down to the right answer

or

(−7 + 4.6p) + (11.3p − 6)

group like numbers

like numbers have a letter next to them or not

p^0 = 1 so if you need a letter then you can use p^0

(−7 + 4.6p) + (11.3p − 6)

-7 -6 = -13

4.6p + 11.3p = 15.9p

15.9p -13 is the same as

D) 15.9p + (−13) because

+ (−13) is the same as

+1 * (−13) which is

-13
