x^2-8x+16 and x^2- 16 diide by 2x ?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Seems you've already evaluated some. Now all you need to do is combine like terms.

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

@chmvijay There was no equation to solve. Just simplifying.. \[\huge \frac{(x-4)^2+(x+4)(x-4)}{2x}\] And as @asillyboy evaluated... \[\huge \frac{(x^2-8x+16)+(x^2-16)}{2x}\]

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

So now, combine like terms in the numerator.

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

yaaa ur right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so thats the answer? or do i continue to divide?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

First, combine like terms in the numerator. To make things easier.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x^2-8x ------- then ? it leaves me with x-4? 2x

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Actually, yeah :D Nice job :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so much, yes its the correct answer!!

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

No problem :)
