Question

How do you write the mixed expression `p-7/(2p)` as a rational expression?

Answer 1

`(2p^2-7)/(2p)`

Explanation:

To do this, we need to put `p` inside the other fraction. We can do this like this:

`p = p * (2p)/(2p) = (2p^2)/(2p)`

Now, we can rewrite our expression as:

`p-7/(2p) = (2p^2)/(2p) - 7/(2p) = (2p^2-7)/(2p)`
