Full solution

Q. Simplify. Write your answer using whole numbers and variables.\newline5q2+2q5q+2\frac{5q^2 + 2q}{5q + 2}
  1. Identify Like Terms: Simplify the expression by combining like terms.\newlineFirst, we need to identify like terms and combine them if possible. In the expression 5q2+2q5q+25q^2 + \frac{2q}{5}q + 2, we have a term with q2q^2, a term with qq, and a constant term. Since there are no like terms to combine, we move to the next step.
  2. Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction 2q5q\frac{2q}{5q}. We can simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator by qq, as long as qq is not equal to zero. 2q5q=(25)(qq)=25\frac{2q}{5q} = \left(\frac{2}{5}\right)\left(\frac{q}{q}\right) = \frac{2}{5}
  3. Rewrite Expression: Rewrite the expression with the simplified fraction.\newlineNow that we have simplified the fraction, we can rewrite the expression as:\newline5q2+25+25q^2 + \frac{2}{5} + 2
  4. Combine Constant Terms: Combine the constant terms.\newlineThe expression now has a term with q2q^2, a fraction, and two constant terms. We can combine the constant terms (2/5)(2/5) and 22.\newline2/5+2=2/5+10/5=12/52/5 + 2 = 2/5 + 10/5 = 12/5
  5. Final Simplified Expression: Write the final simplified expression.\newlineThe final simplified expression is:\newline5q2+1255q^2 + \frac{12}{5}
