5. 5. Simplify: 3p-3q+ 2p+2q

   • A. 5p+q
   • B. 5p-q✓
   • C. 4p
   • D. 4q

   Answer: 5p-q — To solve this problem, first group the similar things together using brackets. So 3p-3q+ 2p+2q, becomes (3p+2p)+(2q-3q), solve it to become (5p)+(-1q), remove the brakers remembering that - (minus) is stronger than + (plus), so it becomes 5p-1q which is the same as 5p-q.
