Can someone please tell me if I got this right. Or if I messed up. Simplify by removing factors of 1.
(8n^2+8n)/(72n^2+64n)
My answer: (8n^2+8n)/(4608n^3)

Should the top have been factored also?

anonymous · Answer

(8n^2+8n)/(72n^2+64n)

you can simplify this problem by factoring out a "1"

or rather, factoring out 8n from the top, and 8n from the bottom.
then 8n/8n = 1, and you are left with the answer

anonymous · Answer

you can factor the numerator like so:  8n(n+1)
and the denominator can factor to: 8n(9n+8) 
the 8n will cancel...assuming n >0... which leaves:  (n+1)/(9n+8)
