Question

$$8p+q-(5p-3q)$$

Evaluate

$3p+4q$

Solution Steps

To find the opposite of $5p-3q$, find the opposite of each term.

$$8p+q-5p-\left(-3q\right)$$

The opposite of $-3q$ is $3q$.

$$8p+q-5p+3q$$

Combine $8p$ and $-5p$ to get $3p$.

$$3p+q+3q$$

Combine $q$ and $3q$ to get $4q$.

$$3p+4q$$

Expand

$3p+4q$

Solution Steps

To find the opposite of $5p-3q$, find the opposite of each term.

$$8p+q-5p-\left(-3q\right)$$

The opposite of $-3q$ is $3q$.

$$8p+q-5p+3q$$

Combine $8p$ and $-5p$ to get $3p$.

$$3p+q+3q$$

Combine $q$ and $3q$ to get $4q$.

$$3p+4q$$
