2. On a road trip, you travel 4 kilometres + 7 kilometres + 3 litres of petrol. Simplify: 4k + 7k + 3p
3. Hotel costs: 2 nights + 6 nights + 4 meals. Simplify: 2n + 6n + 4m
4. Travel expenses: 5 dollars + 3 tickets + 8 dollars + 2 tickets. Simplify: 5d + 3t + 8d + 2t

🗺️ Part 2: Intermediate Journey Planning

These expressions have more terms to combine. Remember: only like terms can be added together!

5. Flight booking: 3 passengers + 7 bags + 2 passengers + 5 bags + 1 passenger. Simplify: 3p + 7b + 2p + 5b + p
