QuestionSimplify the algebraic expression by combining like terms.
YOUR ANSWER MUST BE IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER WITH THE CONSTANT AT THE END.
NO SPACES 12ppppp=12 p-p-p-p-p= \square

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The expression contains like terms that can be combined.
2. The terms are all in terms of p p and constants.
3. The final expression should be in alphabetical order with the constant at the end.

STEP 2

1. Identify and combine like terms in the expression.
2. Simplify the expression and arrange it in the required order.

STEP 3

Identify the like terms in the expression:
12ppppp 12p - p - p - p - p
All terms are in terms of p p .

STEP 4

Combine the like terms by subtracting the coefficients of p p :
12p4p=8p 12p - 4p = 8p
Since there are no constant terms, the expression simplifies to:
8p 8p
The expression is already in alphabetical order with the constant at the end.
The simplified expression is:
8p \boxed{8p}
