No — 5np/n^2 - 2g/h is not a polynomial (in the variables n, p, g, h). After simplification it is 5p/n - 2g/h, which has variables n and h in the denominators (equivalently factors n^(-1), h^(-1)), so it is a rational expression, not a polynomial.

(If n and h were fixed nonzero constants, then 5p/n - 2g/h would be a polynomial in p and g of degree 1.)
