Q. Simplify. Write your answer using whole numbers and variables.\newline6p426p\frac{6p - 42}{6p}
  1. Identify Terms and Factors: Identify the terms in the expression and look for common factors.\newlineWe have 6p6p in the numerator and 6p6p in the denominator. We can simplify this by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by the common factor 6p6p.
  2. Divide by Common Factor: Divide the numerator and the denominator by 6p6p. \newline(6p42)/6p=(6p/6p)(42/6p)(6p - 42) / 6p = (6p/6p) - (42/6p)\newline=1(42/6p)= 1 - (42/6p)
  3. Simplify Numerator and Denominator: Simplify the second term in the expression. \newline426p\frac{42}{6p} can be simplified by dividing 4242 by 66, which gives us 77.\newlineSo, 1(426p)=1(7p)1 - \left(\frac{42}{6p}\right) = 1 - \left(\frac{7}{p}\right)
  4. Simplify Second Term: Write the final simplified expression.\newlineThe expression is now simplified to 17p1 - \frac{7}{p}.
