Question

Simplify the expression showing steps 1+4.25n+3/2p-3+(-2p)+5/4n

Answer 1

The given expression is

`1+4.25n+(3)/(2)p-3+(-2p)+(5)/(4)n`

We have to reduce like terms.

`\begin{gathered} 4.25n+(5)/(4)n+(3)/(2)p-2p-3+1 \\ 4.25n+1.25n+1.5p-2p-3+1 \\ 5.5n-0.5p-2 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the simplest form of the given expression is

`5.5n-0.5p-2`
