Question

Perform the indicated operation. Simplify if possible.

(8x^2/x-1) + (-8x/x-1)

I factored and then canceled to get...

8x(x-1)/x-1
=8x

I am stuck once again...not sure if this is correct. Thanks ahead of time.

Answer 1

\[\frac{8x^2}{x-1}+\frac{-8x}{x-1}\]??

Answer 2

\[\frac{8x^2-8x}{x-1}=\frac{8x(x-1)}{x-1}\] yeah looks like you are right, it is \(8x\)

Answer 3

you are not stuck, you are done !

Answer 4

Thank you so much! i wasn't positive it was correct, so i couldn't get past it, haha. Thanks again.
