Solution

The given problem in the image is an algebraic expression involving fractions. Here's the expression from the image:

10p+203p+5p10p\frac{10p + 20}{3p} + \frac{5p - 10}{p}

To solve this, we need to simplify the expression by finding a common denominator and combining the fractions.

Step-by-step Solution:

  1. Identify the Denominators:

    • The denominators in the expression are 3p3p and pp.
  2. Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD):

    • The LCD for 3p3p and pp is 3p3p.
  3. Rewrite Each Fraction with the LCD:

    • The first fraction 10p+203p\frac{10p + 20}{3p} already has the denominator 3p3p.
    • The second fraction 5p10p\frac{5p - 10}{p} needs to be rewritten with a denominator of 3p3p. Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3:

    5p10p=3(5p10)3p=15p303p\frac{5p - 10}{p} = \frac{3(5p - 10)}{3p} = \frac{15p - 30}{3p}

  4. Combine the Fractions:

    • Now that both fractions have the same denominator, combine them:

    10p+203p+15p303p=(10p+20)+(15p30)3p\frac{10p + 20}{3p} + \frac{15p - 30}{3p} = \frac{(10p + 20) + (15p - 30)}{3p}

  5. Simplify the Numerator:

    • Combine like terms in the numerator:

    (10p+15p)+(2030)=25p10(10p + 15p) + (20 - 30) = 25p - 10

    • The expression becomes:

    25p103p\frac{25p - 10}{3p}

  6. Factor the Numerator (if possible):

    • The numerator 25p1025p - 10 can be factored as:

    25p10=5(5p2)25p - 10 = 5(5p - 2)

    • So, the simplified expression is:

    5(5p2)3p\frac{5(5p - 2)}{3p}

  7. Final Simplified Expression:

    5(5p2)3p\frac{5(5p - 2)}{3p}

This is the simplified form of the given expression.
