Q. Simplify. Write your answer using whole numbers and variables.9q2−2qq
Identify Common Factors: Identify the terms in the expression and look for common factors. The expression is 9q2q−2q. We can see that q is a common factor in both terms.
Factor Out Common Factor: Factor out the common factor q from both terms.We can factor q out from the first term 9q2q, which simplifies to 9q1. For the second term, factoring out q from −2q gives us −2.So, the expression becomes 9q1−2.
Combine Terms: Combine the terms.Since the terms are not like terms, we cannot combine them further. The expression is already simplified.
