Question

Simplify 5+x/x+5

Answer 1

\(\bf \cfrac{5+x}{x+5}\implies \cfrac{\cancel{ 5+x }}{\cancel{ 5+x }}\implies ?\)

Answer 2

lol i have no words is that the full quistion?

Answer 3

The options are 1, -1, x, 5+x/x+5

Answer 4

So the answer is x?

Answer 5

\(\bf \cfrac{5+x}{x+5}\implies \cfrac{\cancel{ 5+x }}{\cancel{ 5+x }}\implies x?\)

Answer 6

what do you get when you divide say \(\bf \cfrac{\cancel{ same }}{\cancel{ same }}=?\)

Answer 7

Oh it stays exactly the same right?

Answer 8

@jdoe0001

Answer 9

hmm well.. lemme put differently \(\bf \cfrac{\cancel{ 2 }}{\cancel{ 2 }}=?\)

Answer 10

1?

Answer 11

yeap thus \(\bf \cfrac{5+x}{x+5}\implies \cfrac{\cancel{ 5+x }}{\cancel{ 5+x }}\implies 1\)

Answer 12

because \(\bf \cfrac{\cancel{ same }}{\cancel{ same }}=1\)

Answer 13

Oh I said 1 in the beginning... so then if I would want to simplify -(x-4)/4-x it is also 1 too?

Answer 14

@jdoe0001

Answer 15

\(\bf \cfrac{-(x-4)}{4-x}\implies \cfrac{-x+4}{4-x}\implies \cfrac{\cancel{ 4-x }}{\cancel{ 4-x }}\)

Answer 16

Which is 1!
