Math Problem Statement

Which expression is equivalent to the expression below? 3, n, minus, 6, p, plus, n, plus, n, plus, n, plus, n, plus, n 3n−6p+n+n+n+n

Solution

The given expression is:

3n6p+n+n+n+n+n3n - 6p + n + n + n + n + n

Let's simplify it by combining like terms.

  1. Group all the terms involving nn:

3n+n+n+n+n+n=8n3n + n + n + n + n + n = 8n

  1. Now, substitute this back into the expression:

8n6p8n - 6p

Thus, the equivalent expression is:

8n6p8n - 6p
