Question

combine any like terms in the expression. if there are no like terms, rewrite the expression.
$34p^{2}+25p^{2}+9p^{2}-9p^{2}-44p^{2}$

Explanation:

Step1: Group like terms

$34p^2 + 25p^2 + 9p^2 - 9p^2 - 44p^2$

Step2: Combine coefficients

$(34 + 25 + 9 - 9 - 44)p^2$

Step3: Calculate coefficient sum

$(34+25=59; 59+9=68; 68-9=59; 59-44=15)$
$15p^2$

Answer:

$15p^2$
