Answer 2

Match each expression with the correct simplified form of the expression

Answer 3

Correct, but to do that you have to simplify, and to simplify you have to factor the trinomials.

Answer 4

For example, the first one factors to (x-4)(x-3)

Answer 5

(x-3)(x-4) / (x-5)(x-4) and the (x-4)'s cancel out

Answer 6

it only has that

Answer 7

so it would be the (x-3)/(x-5) answer

Answer 8

Do you know what factoring is, brendas?

Answer 9

ok thanks
