Question

Combining like terms
P +8p

Answer 1

The answer is simple it's 9p. This question is from algebraic expressions.

Explanation:

So in algebra we can only use operations on like terms. Since 8p and p are.like terms they can be added.

8p+p

=9p

So we can just simply count how many ever terms are there and do it together.

Answer 2

Answer: 9p

Step-by-step explanation: If there's no coefficient in front of the variable,

you can give it a coefficient of 1, so p can be thought of as 1p.

Since 1p and 8p are like terms meaning they have identical variables,

we say that they are like terms and can be combined to get 9p.
