1. Problem Description

The problem requires simplifying the expression 5p+932p4\frac{5p+9}{3-2p} - 4.

2. Solution Steps

First, rewrite 4 as a fraction with the same denominator as the first term:
4=4(32p)32p=128p32p4 = \frac{4(3-2p)}{3-2p} = \frac{12-8p}{3-2p}.
Then, subtract the fractions:
5p+932p4=5p+932p128p32p\frac{5p+9}{3-2p} - 4 = \frac{5p+9}{3-2p} - \frac{12-8p}{3-2p}
=5p+9(128p)32p= \frac{5p+9-(12-8p)}{3-2p}
=5p+912+8p32p= \frac{5p+9-12+8p}{3-2p}
=13p332p= \frac{13p-3}{3-2p}

3. Final Answer

13p332p\frac{13p-3}{3-2p}
