The equivalent expression after combining like terms is
-(6)/(7) p + (1)/(7).

In the given expression:
-(4)/(7) p+\left(-(2)/(7) p\right)+(1)/(7)

We have two terms with the variable "p" and the same denominator of 7. The coefficients of these terms are
-(4)/(7) and
-(2)/(7).

To combine these terms, we simply add the coefficients:


-(4)/(7) p + \left(-(2)/(7) p\right) = -(4)/(7) p - (2)/(7) p = -(6)/(7) p

So, the equivalent expression after combining like terms is
-(6)/(7) p + (1)/(7).
