Q. Which of the following expressions is equivalent to 8p+832p+4 \frac{8 p+8}{-32 p+4} ?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) p+24p+1 \frac{p+2}{-4 p+1} \newline(B) 2p+28p+1 \frac{2 p+2}{-8 p+1} \newline(C) 2p+28p+1 \frac{2 p+2}{8 p+1} \newline(D) p+18p+1 \frac{p+1}{-8 p+1}
  1. Factor out common factor in numerator: Factor out the common factor in the numerator.\newlineThe common factor in the numerator (8p+8)(8p + 8) is 88.\newlineSo, we factor out 88 to get 8(p+1)8(p + 1).
  2. Factor out common factor in denominator: Factor out the common factor in the denominator.\newlineThe common factor in the denominator (32p+4)(-32p + 4) is 44.\newlineSo, we factor out 44 to get 4(8p+1)4(-8p + 1).
  3. Simplify expression by dividing: Simplify the expression by dividing the numerator and the denominator by their common factor.\newlineWe have 8(p+1)4(8p+1)\frac{8(p + 1)}{4(-8p + 1)}.\newlineDivide both the numerator and the denominator by 44 to simplify the fraction.\newline(84)(p+1)(44)(8p+1)=2(p+1)8p+1\frac{(\frac{8}{4})(p + 1)}{(\frac{4}{4})(-8p + 1)} = \frac{2(p + 1)}{-8p + 1}.
  4. Match simplified expression with choices: Match the simplified expression with the given choices.\newlineThe simplified expression is 2(p+1)8p+1\frac{2(p + 1)}{-8p + 1}.\newlineThis matches with choice (D) p+18p+1\frac{p + 1}{-8p + 1}.
