simplify 1 times x minus x/1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so x-(x/1)? Do I have the problem copied down correctly?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wouldn't it just be x-x so 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, it's showing 1(x)-x-x/1 and possible answers are a: 0 b: 1 c: x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1(x) = x, the 1 is implied. x-(x/1)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pfft duh...ok so 1-x-x/1 ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(1-x)-(x/1)? I'm not understanding you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so, 1(x) is 1 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that leaves x-x/1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1(x) is x, just like 2(x) is 2x 0(x) is 0. because anything times 0 is 0 anything times 1 is itself. 1(w) = w

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, so 1(x) = x which leaves x-x/1 x-x-x/1 ^Right so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you use ( and ) , I can follow you easier. Also, this side has a drawing site
