Question

ive got to questions left and i need H-E-L-P!

Answer 1

Which factor can you cancel from the numerator and denominator to simplify 12 minus 6 times x all over 5 times x minus 10.? [Hint: (a−x) = − (x − a)]

Answer 2

12 and 10 are 6 and 5

Answer 3

wait ..so its 6/5 ?

Answer 4

ya

Answer 5

\[\frac{12-6x}{5x-10}\]
factor out a -6 from the top and a 5 from the bottom
\[\frac{-6(x-2)}{5(x-2)}=\frac{-6}{5}\]as long asx is not 2

Answer 6

don't forget the negative @so9

Answer 7

wait there's no negative..

Answer 8

i don't have any answer choices with a negative..

Answer 9

IT'S 6/5 xd

Answer 10

\[\frac{ 12-6x }{ 5x-10 }=\frac{ 6 }{ 5 }·\frac{ 2-x }{ x-2 }=-\frac{ 6 }{ 5 }·\frac{ x-2 }{ x-2 }=-\frac{ 6 }{ 5 }\]The factor we have eliminated is (x-2)

Answer 11

its not 6/5....

Answer 12

so its x-2?

Answer 13

but this is not the question
the question is what cancels
the answer is x-2

Answer 14

@jenniferjuice exactly (x-2)

Answer 15

but you can only do that if, factor out a -6/5

I'd say it is x-2 also

Answer 17

not 6/5 as both @CarlosGP and I have clearly shown
