<u>Answer:</u>
- The simplified expression is "7p/4 + 2 1/2" or "1.75p + 2.5".
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
- 2p + 3/4p + 6 - p - 3 1/2
- => (2p - p + 3/4p) + (6 - 3.5)
- => 1.75p + 2.5
Hence, the simplified expression is "<u>7p/4 + 2 1/2</u>" or "<u>1.75p + 2.5</u>". Any of these would work.
Hoped this helped.
