Full solution

Q. Simplify. Write your answer using whole numbers and variables.\newline2d25dd\frac{2d^2 - 5d}{d}
  1. Divide by dd: Simplify the expression 2d25dd2d^2 - \frac{5d}{d} by dividing each term by dd. When dividing terms with the same base, we subtract the exponents. For the first term, 2d2/d2d^2/d, we have d2d^2 divided by dd, which simplifies to d21=d1=dd^{2-1} = d^1 = d. For the second term, 5d/d-5d/d, the dd's cancel out, leaving 5-5.
  2. Write simplified expression: Write the simplified expression. After dividing, we have 2d52d - 5.
  3. Check for further simplification: Check for any possible further simplification. Since there are no like terms left to combine and no common factors to factor out, the expression is fully simplified.
