are you able to help with this?
Vocaloid (vocaloid):
the answer you picked looks right to me
would you like an explanation?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I just guessed, so....yes an explanation would be helpful
Vocaloid (vocaloid):
ok, we just divided every term by x
so
5x divided by x becomes x
3x^2 divided by x becomes 3x
2x^4 divided by x becomes 2x^3
Vocaloid (vocaloid):
*5x divided by x becomes 5

Vocaloid (vocaloid):
nope
after we factor we get
(x+4)(x+2)
in the numerator
and
4(x+2)
in the denominator
the (x+2) cancels out to get
(x+4)/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):
