Divide.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the x^2 - 4 can be written as (x - 2)(x + 2) and then solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how @miteshchvm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ \frac{ (x-2)(x+2) }{ x-8 } }{ x-2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ (x-2)(x+2) }{ (x-8) } \div (x-2)\] \[\frac{ (x-2)(x+2) }{ (x-8) } \times \frac{ 1 }{ (x-2) } \] can you solve further?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I wish I knew how to solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can eliminate x-2 bcoz x-2/x-2 = 1 hence the answer would be x+2/x-8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or you can write the answer as \[\frac{ x^2-4 }{ x^2 - 10x + 16 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@miteshchvm so which answer would it be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

both are the same answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it depends on what the options are

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just listed my options

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your options ae in other variables and the question is in other.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
