Question

What is the simplified form of the quantity 2 x minus 8 all over x minus 4 ? HELP

Answer 1

(2x - 8)/(x -4)

you can common factor out the 2 in the numerator:
(2x - 8) = 2(x -4)

the new fraction:
2(x-4) / (x-4)

(x - 4)s cancel:
2/1
=2

Answer 2

hmm here are the optionns
x - 4, with the restriction x does not equal 4

2, with the restriction x does not equal 4

x - 4, with the restriction x does not equal 2

4, with the restriction x does not equal 2

Answer 3

it's the second, I should also mention that x does not equal 4 because 4-4=0 and that would make the denominator 0

Answer 4
