Algebra.Com's Answer #270511 by richard1234(7193)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! It's not in simplified form because you can cancel out x-4 from top and bottom to obtain (5x+6)/(2x-5). I'm actually not aware if there is an actual name for this method, I just say that we canceled out x-4. \n" ); document.write( " |
