Question

Easy medal!

Answer 1

\[\frac{ -4x+8 }{ -4 }\]

Answer 2

and

Answer 3

hint: -4x+8 = -4(x-2)

Answer 4

\[\frac{ -4x-8 }{ -4 }\]

Answer 5

-4x-8 = -4(x+2)

Answer 6

common multiples!!!

Answer 7

does that help rainbowtonic?

Answer 8

so the answer is x-2 because -4 divided by -4 is 1 and 8 dived -4 is -2

Answer 9

\[\frac{ -4x + 8 }{ -4 } = \frac{ -4(x - 2) }{ -4 }\]

Answer 10

\[\frac{ -4x - 8 }{ -4 } = \frac{ -4(x + 2) }{ -4 }\]

Answer 11

Can you do it from here? @rainbowtonic

Answer 12

honestly no...

Answer 13

okay, do you know why the numerator part (the top) got factored as it is?

Answer 14

Answer 19

:l

Answer 20

dont get snippy with me

Answer 21

the idea is to factor out -4, then cancel like this

\[\large \frac{ -4x+8 }{ -4 }\]

\[\large \frac{ -4(x-2) }{ -4 }\]

\[\large \frac{ \cancel{-4}(x-2) }{ \cancel{-4} }\]

\[\large \frac{ 1(x-2) }{ 1 }\]

\[\large \frac{ x-2 }{ 1 }\]

\[\large x-2\]

-------------------------------------

so

\[\large \frac{ -4x+8 }{ -4 }\]

simplifies to

\[\large x-2\]

Answer 22

so the second one would be x + 2?

Answer 23
