Answer:

-6/7p +1/7

Explanation:

You want the simplified form of the expression -4/7p +(-2/7p) +1/7.

Like terms

An expression is simplified by eliminating parentheses and combining like terms. Like terms are terms that have the same variable or the same product of variables. The distributive property can be used to see how to combine the coefficients of like terms.


-(4)/(7)p+(-(2)/(7)p)+(1)/(7)=-(4)/(7)p-(2)/(7)p+(1)/(7)\\\\\\=(-(4)/(7)-(2)/(7))p+(1)/(7)=\boxed{-(6)/(7)p+(1)/(7)}

The simplified expression is -6/7p+1/7.
