Question

how do I solve this (2-8y)/(5-5y)

Answer 1

would you do FOIL METHOD on this one?

Answer 2

There is no equals sign, so there is nothing to solve.
It's already well-simplified...
Do you want to divide them?

Answer 3

wouldn't*

Answer 4

sorry yes i want to solve x= and then the problem

I thought it was multiplication at first too, @onegirl , but it is actually division of binomials.

Answer 6

Answer 7

I just feel stuck on it for some reason how can I simplfy this

Answer 8

So you want to solve
\[\large x=\frac{2-8y}{5-5y}\]
