Simplify exponential expressions using the multiplication and division rules

Full solution

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

\newline

\frac{13p + 26}{p + 2}

Identify Terms: Identify like terms and the possibility of simplification. $\newline$ The expression given is $13p + \frac{26}{p} + 2$ . We have two terms involving $p$ , one of which is a fraction. There is no simplification possible between these terms because they are not like terms (one is $p$ and the other is $\frac{1}{p}$ ).
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms if possible. $\newline$ Since there are no like terms, we cannot combine any terms. The whole numbers $13p$ and $2$ are not like terms with $\frac{26}{p}$ , so they remain separate.
Rewrite Expression: Rewrite the expression in a simplified form. $\newline$ The expression $13p + \frac{26}{p} + 2$ is already in its simplest form because there are no like terms to combine and no further simplification possible.
