those variables are m and p by the way haha

\[Ok so we know that you can simplify the first term as (m-2)(m+4)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol no spaces wtvr

OpenStudy (kaiz122):

the equation would be also equal to \[\frac{(m^2 +2m-8)(12p)}{(6p)(4m+m^2)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so m^2+2m-8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now Kaiz we don't want to multiply straight across until we have simplified it

OpenStudy (kaiz122):

you can simplify the first term on the numerator by factoring and the second term on the denominator by ffactoring out m
