Question

Simplify the rational equation. And state any restrictions on the variable.
7x-14/2-x

Answer 1

If you pull out a GCF of 7 from the numerator and -1 from the denominator, you will be able to cancer out a factor of (x-2).
However, the denominator of the original function cannot be 0, so x cannot be 2.

Answer 2

hmm looks familiar
factor, cancel, then set
\[2-x=0\] and solve for \(x\) in one step
