Question

HELP!

With the restriction x ≠ 2, which of the following is the simplified form of 3 x plus 4 over x minus 2 minus the fraction x minus 8 over x minus 2

Answer 1

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow \Large {3x - 4 \over x - 2} - {x- 8 \over x - 2} }\)

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow \Large {(3x - 4) -(x - 8) \over x - 2 }}\)

Can you simplify this?

Answer 2

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow \Large {3x - 4 - x + 8 \over x - 2}}\)

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow \Large{2x + 4 \over x - 2}}\)

It's easy to do it now

Answer 3

Idk where to start!

Answer 4

I just started on this subject and my notes are getting me more confused.

Answer 5

I don't think you could simplify this further.

Answer 6

Ohhh maybe that's why I'm confused

Answer 7

lol

Answer 8

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow \Large {2x + 4 \over x - 2}}\)

You can't go further than this :)

Answer 9

But there must be something missing because my choices are:

a. 1

b. 4 times the quantity x plus 3 end quantity over x minus 2

c. x – 2

d. 2 times the quantity x plus 6 end quantity over x minus 2

Wouldn't it be d?

Answer 10

plus 6? How 6?

Answer 11

Those are the 4 choices they gave me, I believe I did something wrong in the multiplying process, I'm not sure. I believe it's D, but I'm not 100% sure..

Answer 12

D is the closest thing

Answer 13

I'll give it a try.. thanks for the help though :)

Answer 14

lol and are you sure it's not \({3x + 4 \over x} - 2\)?

Answer 15

i figured it out!

Answer 16

but i'm pretty sure you're done with the quiz now haha

Answer 17

but for future people: 2(x+6)/x-2

Answer 18

because it's subtracting so it would be 2x+12 on top

Answer 19

THANK YOU @heyitsmelalala !!!
