standard_description: Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. For example, apply the distributive property to the expression 3 (2 + x) to produce the equivalent expression 6 + 3x; apply the distributive property to the expression 24x + 18y to produce the equivalent expression 6 (4x + 3y); apply properties of operations to y + y + y to produce the equivalent expression 3y.
problem_activity: Two expressions are given below.
Expression A:
$${5q-r}$$
Expression B:
$${ -2q+3r-4}$$
a.   Write a simplified expression that represents A + B.
b.   Write a simplified expression that represents A - B.
