Question

Is this right? i was trying to simplify...
(4-c)/(2c-8)=(4-c)/(c∙c-8)=4/(c-8)=1 ⁄ (c-4)

Answer 1

@amistre64?

Answer 2

2c does not equal c*c

2c = c+c

but the key here is to factor out a -2 from the bottom, then cancel

Answer 3

\[\frac{(4-c)}{(2c-8)}\]
\[\frac{(4-c)}{-2(-c+4)}\]
\[\frac{\cancel{(4-c)}}{-2\cancel{(4-c)}}\]

Answer 4

so 1/-2?
