Question

Simplify completely quantity 2 x minus 24 over 8

Answer 1

i don't really get your question

Answer 2

2x minus 24 over means :

\[\frac{2x - 8}{24}\]

Answer 3

Or is it :

\[2x - \frac{8}{24}\]

Answer 4

no its\[2x-24/8\]. the numerator is 2x-24 while the denomenator is 8

Answer 5

Answer 7

\[\frac{2x-8}{24} \quad Or \quad 2x - \frac{8}{24} \quad ??\]

Answer 8
