Full solution

Q. Simplify. Write your answer using whole numbers and variables.\newline2k2+9k2k+9\frac{2k^2 + 9k}{2k + 9}
  1. Identify Terms and Factors: Identify like terms and common factors.\newlineIn the given expression, 2k2+9k2k+92k^2 + \frac{9k}{2k} + 9, we look for like terms and common factors that can be simplified. The terms 2k22k^2 and 9k9k have a common factor of kk, but they cannot be combined with the terms 2k2k and 99 as they are separated by a division sign.
  2. Separate Numerator and Denominator: Simplify the numerator and denominator separately.\newlineThe numerator is 2k2+9k2k^2 + 9k, and the denominator is 2k+92k + 9. There are no common factors that can be canceled between the numerator and the denominator. Therefore, the expression cannot be simplified further.
  3. Check for Factorization: Check for any possible factorization.\newlineThe numerator 2k2+9k2k^2 + 9k does not factor in a way that would cancel with the denominator 2k+92k + 9. Similarly, the denominator 2k+92k + 9 does not factor in a way that would cancel with the numerator. Therefore, the expression is already in its simplest form.
