Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form. 23−35p3 ______
Find LCM of denominators: Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators 2 and 3. The LCM is 6.
Make denominators the same: Make the denominators the same by multiplying the first fraction by 33 and the second fraction by 22. This gives us (23)(33)−(35p3)(22).
Perform multiplication for both fractions: Perform the multiplication for both fractions to get common denominators. This results in (3×3)/(2×3)−(5p3×2)/(3×2), which simplifies to 9/6−10p3/6.
Simplify the expression: Simplify the expression by subtracting the numerators since the denominators are the same. The final simplified expression is (9−10p3)/6.
