Answer 2

Hey there!

1. “2a + 5a”

COMBINE your LIKE TERMS

2 + 5 = 7

So this means that: 2a + 5a has to equal 7a

Answer: 7a ☑️

2. “12x – 3x”

COMBINE your LIKE TERMS

12 – 3 = 9

So that means 12x – 3x has to equal 9x

Answer: 9x ☑️

3. “3p + 2p – p”

Side note: “P” by itself is understood as 1

Equation: 3p + 2p – 1p

COMBINE your LIKE TERMS

3p + 2p – 1p

3 + 2 = 5

Which makes 3p + 2p have to equal to 5p

5 – 1 = 4

So this means that 5p – 1p has to equal to 4p

Answer: 4p ☑️

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
