Answer:

Explanation:

This expression consists of two fractions that have no common denominator but do have -2 as a common factor in the numerators.

Factoring out the -2, we get:

-2(2p/3 + 1/5)

If you want to go further, we can determine the LCD (which is 15) and then combine the fractions within parentheses:

-2(10p/15 + 3/15)

We could now factor out the 1/15 in each fraction:

-2

---- (10p + 3)

15
