Question

1 + 4.25n + 3/2p – 3 + (–2p) + 5/4n simplify

Answer 1

$\longrightarrow{\green{A.\:5.5 \: n - \frac{1}{2} \: p - 2}}$ ✔

$\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\red{Step-by-step\:explanation}}{\orange{:}}}}}$

$1 + 4.25 \: n + \frac{3}{2} \: p - 3 + ( - 2 \: p) + \frac{5}{4} \: n$

Combining like terms, we have

$= 4.25 \: n + \frac{5}{4} \: n + \frac{3}{2} \: p - 2 \: p + 1 - 3 \\ \\= 4.25 \: n + 1.25 \: n + 1.5 \: p - 2 \: p - 2 \\\\ = 5.5 \: n - 0.5 \: p - 2 \\ \\ = 5.5 \: n - \frac{1}{2} \: p - 2$
