Answer:
option 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms
[tex]1 + 4.25n + \frac{3}{2}p - 3 + (-2p) + \frac{5}{4}n=1 - 3 + 4.25n +\frac{5}{4}n+\frac{3}{2}p+(-2p)\\[/tex]
[tex]= -2 + 4.25n + 1.25n + \frac{3}{2}p-\frac{2*2}{1*2}p\\\\= - 2 + 5.5n +\frac{3}{2}p+\frac{4}{2}p\\\\= -2 + 5.5n +\frac{3-4}{2}p\\\\= - 2 + 5.5n -\frac{1}{2}p\\\\= 5.5n - \frac{1}{2}p - 2[/tex]
