### Algebraic Expressions and Problem Solving

#### Expression Evaluation

**3.** Simplify the expression:

\[
(-0.3s - 2) + (5 - 3.4s) + (5r + 2)
\]

**4.** Solve the expression:

\[
\left(\frac{1}{6}p - 3\right) + (3q - 1.7) + \left(-\frac{1}{3}p + 4\right)
\]

#### Word Problem

**5.** You are collecting pairs of socks and toothbrushes for a local charity. After \(d\) days, you have collected \((4d + 5)\) pairs of socks and \((3d + 7)\) toothbrushes.

a. Write an expression that represents the total number of items that have been collected.

b. How many more pairs of socks than toothbrushes have been collected on day 7?

#### Finding Differences

**6.** Find the difference:

\[
(8.2k - 6) - (4.5 - 9k)
\]

**7.** Calculate the expression:

\[
\left(-\frac{3}{5} + 2g\right) - \left(4 + \frac{2}{3}g\right)
\]
