Full solution

Q. Simplify. Write your answer using whole numbers and variables.

\newline

\frac{16p - 32}{p - 2}

Identify Terms: Identify the terms in the expression. $\newline$ The expression given is $16p - \frac{32}{p} - 2$ . We have three terms here: $16p$ , $-\frac{32}{p}$ , and $-2$ .
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms if possible. $\newline$ In this expression, there are no like terms to combine. The term $16p$ is a linear term in $p$ , $-\frac{32}{p}$ is a term with $p$ in the denominator, and $-2$ is a constant term. Since they are not like terms, we cannot combine them.
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression by performing any possible arithmetic. $\newline$ There is no arithmetic to perform between the terms since they are not like terms. The expression is already in its simplest form.
