Answer 7

What is the simplified form of x^2 - 36 over x^2 - 12x + 36? (and okay) :)

Answer 8

x^2 - 36 = (x + 6)(x - 6)
and
x^2 - 12x + 36 = (x - 6)(x - 6)
can you continue?

Answer 9

What do you mean?

Answer 10

Thanks so much by the way! :)

Answer 11

the next step is

(x + 6)(x - 6)
-----------
(x - 6)(x - 6)

notice ( x - 6) occurs inthe top and bottom of the fraction

so can you tell me the next step in the simplifying process?

Answer 12

Are you kidding? When it comes to math, I'm a total dope. I have tons of notes too. I just don't get it. I guess it's just not my strong spot.

Answer 13

Thanks for your help though! :)

Answer 14

the (x-6)'s cancel out: (x-6) divided by (x-6) is 1, as it is with anything else - anything divided by itself = 1 (except 0)

so the final answer is

(x +6)
-----
(x - 6)

Answer 15
