Full solution

Q. Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression.\newline4q+3+2q1=4q+3+2q-1=
  1. Identify like terms: Identify like terms in the expression 4q+3+2q14q+3+2q-1. Like terms are terms that contain the same variable raised to the same power. Here, 4q4q and 2q2q are like terms, and 33 and 1-1 are like terms.
  2. Combine like terms 4q4q and 2q2q: Combine the like terms 4q4q and 2q2q.\newlineTo combine these terms, we add their coefficients: 4+2=64 + 2 = 6. So, 4q+2q=6q4q + 2q = 6q.
  3. Combine like terms 33 and 1-1: Combine the like terms 33 and 1-1.\newlineTo combine these terms, we add their values: 3+(1)=23 + (-1) = 2. So, 31=23 - 1 = 2.
  4. Write equivalent expression: Write the equivalent expression by combining the results from the previous steps.\newlineThe combined like terms give us the equivalent expression: 6q+26q + 2.
