Hey there!

Like terms are "from the same family"

Let me clarify.

For example. we have an expression "2t+12h-6h"

In this case, 12h and -6h are like terms and 2t and 12h are not like terms.

Here's another example:

r+a-y+4+9-1

The like terms are:

4, 9, and -1

Now that we know what like terms are, let's identify the like terms in the given expression.

The expression is:


\bold{12n-6+p+6n}

What are the like terms?

That's right, 12n and 6n:


\bold{12n+6n-6+p}


\bold{18n-6+p}

Hence, the answer is


\boxed{\boxed{\bold{18n-6+p}}}

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any other questions; if so, please comment.
