- -7 + 2p -11q
- 3p + 2q - 7
- 7 + 2p + 11q
- 2pq + 7
The correct answer is: 7 + 2p + 11q
To solve the given equation.
In 9q -3p + 2q + 7 + 5p, the like terms are -3p and 5p ; 2q and 9q.
So, 9q - 3p + 2q + 7 + 5p = 7+ (-3p + 5p) + (2q + 9q)
= 7 + 2p + 11q
Therefore, the solution of the given expression is 7 + 2p + 11q.
