See the entire simplification process below:

First, group like terms:

$7 p - p + q + \frac{2}{3} q$ $7p - p + q + 2/3q$

$7 p - 1 p + 1 q + \frac{2}{3} q$ $7p - 1p + 1q + 2/3q$

Now, combine like terms:

$(7 - 1) p + (1 + \frac{2}{3}) q$ $(7 - 1)p + (1 + 2/3)q$

$6 p + ((\frac{3}{3} \times 1) + \frac{2}{3}) q$ $6p + ((3/3 xx 1) + 2/3)q$

$6 p + (\frac{3}{3} + \frac{2}{3}) q$ $6p + (3/3 + 2/3)q$

$6 p + \frac{5}{3} q$ $6p + 5/3q$

How do you simplify 7p+q−p+2q37p + q - p + 2q/3?
