Question

1 + 4.25n + 3/2p – 3 + (–2p) + 5/4n simplify

A. 5.5n – 1/2p – 2
B. 9.5n + 1.5p – 2
C. 9/4n − 1.5p − 4
D. 3.75n – p + 1

Answer 1

The answer is B.....

Answer 2

`\longrightarrow{\green{A.\:5.5 \: n - (1)/(2) \: p - 2}}` ✔

`\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\red{Step-by-step\:explanation}}{\orange{:}}}}}`

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

Combining like terms, we have

`= 4.25 \: n + (5)/(4) \: n + (3)/(2) \: p - 2 \: p + 1 - 3 \\ \\= 4.25 \: n + 1.25 \: n + 1.5 \: p - 2 \: p - 2 \\\\ = 5.5 \: n - 0.5 \: p - 2 \\ \\ = 5.5 \: n - (1)/(2) \: p - 2`
