Question

Add.
(
–
q+5)+(
–
3q+6)

Answer 1

To add the expressions \((-q + 5)\) and \((-3q + 6)\), you'll want to combine the like terms. Here's the step-by-step process:

1. Write the expressions together:
\[
(-q + 5) + (-3q + 6)
\]

2. Remove the parentheses:
\[
-q + 5 - 3q + 6
\]

3. Combine the like terms. The like terms here are the \(q\) terms and the constant terms:
- For the \(q\) terms: \(-q - 3q = -4q\)
- For the constant terms: \(5 + 6 = 11\)

4. Write the combined expression:
\[
-4q + 11
\]

Thus, the final result is:
\[
\boxed{-4q + 11}
\]
