what's the question? simplify it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Start by factoring the equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{x^2-12x+20}{x-10}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

[(x-10)(x-2)]/x-10 the x-10 cancels out on the numerator and denominator final answer is x-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont get how to simplify them ): but i know to cancle out after they are simplified

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first step is to see that (x^2-12x+20) can be factored out
