Question

1. combine like terms

4p - 10 - 2p + 3

Explanation:

Step1: Group like terms

Group the terms with \(p\) and the constant terms: \((4p - 2p)+(- 10 + 3)\)

Step2: Combine like terms

For the terms with \(p\): \(4p-2p = 2p\)
For the constant terms: \(-10 + 3=-7\)
So the result is \(2p-7\)

Answer:

\(2p - 7\)
