Q. Simplify. Write your answer using whole numbers and variables.\newline2k25kk\frac{2k^2 - 5k}{k}
  1. Identify Terms and Operation: Identify the terms in the expression and the operation to perform.\newlineThe expression is 2k25kk2k^2 - \frac{5k}{k}. We need to simplify this expression by performing the division and subtraction.
  2. Divide 5k-5k by kk: Divide the term 5k-5k by kk.\newline5kk=5-\frac{5k}{k} = -5, because when you divide a term by itself, the result is 11, and 5×1=5-5 \times 1 = -5.
  3. Combine Simplified Terms: Combine the simplified term with the remaining term.\newlineThe expression now reads 2k252k^2 - 5. Since there are no like terms to combine with 2k22k^2, this is the simplified form.
