Question

1. $4p + 2p$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify like terms

The terms \(4p\) and \(2p\) are like terms (both have the variable \(p\) with the same exponent, which is 1 here).

Step2: Combine like terms

To combine like terms, we add the coefficients. The coefficient of \(4p\) is 4 and the coefficient of \(2p\) is 2. So we calculate \(4 + 2\) and then multiply by \(p\).
\(4p+2p=(4 + 2)p\)

Step3: Calculate the sum of coefficients

\(4+2 = 6\), so \((4 + 2)p=6p\)

Answer:

\(6p\)
