Answer:
(choice A) 2p + 3q
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>hey there,</em>

< First, we should re-arrange q+p+q+p+q so that all the p's are together, and the q's are together so that it will be easier to solve (this step is obviously optional).
This is what you will get:
(q+q+q) + (p+p)
The way you solve this: the coefficient in front of every variable (p or q) is always ONE (1). Soo think of it this way: (1q+1q+1q) + (1p+1p).
If you pretended that there were no variables and it was just (1 + 1 + 1) = 3 and (1 + 1) = 2.
Now just add on your variables. 3q + 2p >
