Solve 2/p-2p

$$\frac { 2 } { p } - 2 p$$

Evaluate

$$-2p+\frac{2}{p}$$

Short Solution Steps

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply -2p times \frac{p}{p}.

$$\frac{2}{p}+\frac{-2pp}{p}$$

Since \frac{2}{p} and \frac{-2pp}{p} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{2-2pp}{p}$$

Do the multiplications in 2-2pp.

$$\frac{2-2p^{2}}{p}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2\left(-p-1\right)\left(p-1\right)}{p}$$
