Q. Simplify. Write your answer using whole numbers and variables.\newline82z+2\frac{8}{2z + 2}
  1. Simplify Fraction 82z\frac{8}{2z}: To simplify the expression 82z+2\frac{8}{2z} + 2, we first simplify the fraction 82z\frac{8}{2z}. We divide 88 by 22 to simplify the fraction. 88 divided by 22 is 44. So, 82z\frac{8}{2z} simplifies to 4z\frac{4}{z}.
  2. Add 22 to Simplified Fraction: Now we have the simplified fraction 4z\frac{4}{z}, and we need to add 22 to it.\newlineHowever, since 22 is not a fraction with the denominator zz, we cannot directly add it to 4z\frac{4}{z}.\newlineTo add 22 to 4z\frac{4}{z}, we need to express 22 as a fraction with the same denominator as 4z\frac{4}{z}.\newlineThe equivalent fraction for 22 with denominator zz is 2211.
  3. Combine Fractions with Same Denominator: Now we can add the two fractions since they have the same denominator.\newlineWe add the numerators and keep the denominator the same.\newlineSo, 4z+2zz\frac{4}{z} + \frac{2z}{z} equals 4+2zz.\frac{4 + 2z}{z}.
  4. Final Simplified Expression: The expression is now simplified to (4+2z)/z(4 + 2z)/z. This is the final simplified form using whole numbers and variables.
