Question

Combine any like terms in the expression. If there are no like terms, rewrite the expression.

2p+p–p

Answer 1

2p

Explanation:

So it is 2p+p-p, use PEMDAS!

(2p+p)-p

The p's are like 1's

so then substitute it in!

(2p+1) - 1

Then use order of operation.

(3p) - 1

= 2p

Answer 2

It would just end with 2p because the other two p’s cancel out
