\n" ); document.write( ": This is an annoying problem, I did solve it, but I got it wrong.
\n" ); document.write( "It says some students simplify 2x^2-32/x-4 as 2x^2-32/x-4 where they crossed out 2x^2 and made it 2x and crossed out 32 and made it 8, crossed ut x-4=2x-8
\n" ); document.write( "It asks to choose values of x to show this is not true. Then simplify it correctly.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"x=0\"$ disproves the incorrect simplification.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Factor a 2 out of the numerator: $\"%282%28x%5E2-16%29%29%2F%28x-4%29\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then factor the difference of two squares in the numerator and you should be good to go. \n" ); document.write( "
