Question

Does anyone know what p(p-2) x (2/p) is?

Answer 1

Yes, I can help you simplify that expression.

Starting with the expression:

p(p-2) x (2/p)

You can simplify it by first multiplying the terms in the first set of parentheses:

p(p-2) = p^2 - 2p

Then you can rewrite the second term as a fraction with a common denominator of p:

2/p = 2p/p^2 = 2/p^2

Now the expression becomes:

(p^2 - 2p) x (2/p^2)

Next, you can factor out a 2 from the first set of parentheses:

2p(p - 1) x (2/p^2)

Finally, you can simplify the expression by canceling out the p in the second fraction:

2(p - 1)

So the simplified expression is 2(p - 1).
