Question

Write the following expression using the fewest possible terms.

(−7 + 3.8p) + (10.7p − 4)

A - 1.45p + (−11)
B - 6.9p + (−3)
C - 14.5p + (−11)
D - 14.5p + (−3)

Answer 1

Hey so the answer would be C- 14.5p+(-11)

Answer 2

C) 14.5p + (-11)

Explanation:

Given expression:

• (-7 + 3.8p) + (10.7p − 4)

distribute inside parenthesis

• -7 + 3.8p + 10.7p - 4

collect like terms

• 3.8p + 10.7p - 7 - 4

factor out

• p(3.8 + 10.7) - 11

simplify

• 14.5p + (-11)
