Answer 3

will u help

Answer 4

x^2((x-1)/(x^2))

Answer 5

what

Answer 6

I don't understand this

Answer 7

@Golferguy158 will u help me

Answer 8

What is the GCF of the numerator?

Answer 9

7X

Answer 10

You factor out an x^2 from the whole equation, and that will give you your answer.

Answer 11

does that make sense?

Answer 12

no can u set it up for me so I can work it out

Answer 13

\[\frac{ x^3-x^2 }{ x^4 }=\frac{ x^2(x-1) }{ x^4 }\]

Answer 14

I confused

Answer 15

the first step is factor the top

\[ (x^3 - x^2) = (x\cdot x \cdot x - x \cdot x) \]
notice that both terms have x*x in them...
you can factor out x*x to get:
(x*x)*(x - 1)
now expand the bottom to x*x*x*x
cancel x*x

Answer 16

so it would look like
\[\frac{ x*x*(x-1) }{x*x }\]

Answer 17

that's close, but the X^2 or in that case x*x on the top should be out in front of the equation.
