You first put together the two p’s which is 12p - 6p then you put together 8+14 so 12p-6p you have to subtract that so you get 6p and then you add 8+14 which equals 22 so your final answer is 6p+22. I THINK
Add 12p and 6p which ='s 18p. combine -8 and 14 and it ='s 6 The correct answer simplified is: 18p + 6 (Tip: you will always put the numbers with the largest exponents and work your way down to the constants) For example, the answer would be incorrect if you leave it as: 6 + 18p
