Question

Which is the simplified form of 9 times x minus 18 all over 4 times x minus 8.?

A:9 times x minus 1 all over 4 times x minus 1.
B:9 over 4.
C:9 over 2.
D:negative 9 over 4.

Answer 1

(9x-18)/(4x-8)?

Answer 2

To start, I would factor out the 9 in the numerator and the 4 in the denominator.
I got: (9(x-2)/4(x-2))
Next, the (x-2) would cancel each other out and leave you with (9/4).

Answer 3

Which is C: 9 over 4.
Does this make sense?

Answer 4

yes. Thank you so much
