Simplify each expression. See Example 8. -6p + 5 - 4p + 6 + 11p

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Identify and group the like terms in the expression. The terms involving the variable \( p \) are \(-6p\), \(-4p\), and \(11p\). The constant terms are \(5\) and \(6\).

Combine the coefficients of the \( p \) terms by adding them together: \(-6 + (-4) + 11\).

Add the constant terms \(5\) and \(6\) together.

Rewrite the expression by placing the combined \( p \) term and the combined constant term together.

The simplified expression will be in the form \( ap + b \), where \( a \) and \( b \) are the results from the previous steps.
