DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at highlight_red%28+%2872%2Ax%5E3-16%2Ax%5E2%29+%29%2F-8%2Fhighlight_red%28+x+%29.
Canceled out common factors (x-(0))
Look at highlight_red%28+%2872%2Ax%5E2-16%2Ax%29%2F-8%2F%28highlight_red%28+1+%29%29+%29.
Remove unneeded parentheses around factor highlight_red%28+1%2F1+%29
It becomes %2872%2Ax%5E2-16%2Ax%29%2F-8%2Fhighlight_green%28+1+%29.
Look at %2872%2Ax%5E2-16%2Ax%29%2Fhighlight_red%28+-8+%29%2Fhighlight_red%28+1+%29.
Multiplied denominator integers
It becomes %2872%2Ax%5E2-16%2Ax%29%2Fhighlight_green%28+-8+%29.
Look at highlight_red%28+%2872%2Ax%5E2-16%2Ax%29%2F-8+%29.
Expanded term 1%2F-8 by using associative property on %2872%2Ax%5E2-16%2Ax%29
It becomes highlight_green%28+1%2F-8%2A72%2Ax%5E2+%29-highlight_green%28+1%2F-8%2A16%2Ax+%29.
Look at highlight_red%28+1+%29%2F-8%2Ahighlight_red%28+72+%29%2Ax%5E2-1%2F-8%2A16%2Ax.
Multiplied numerator integers
It becomes highlight_green%28+72+%29%2F-8%2Ax%5E2-1%2F-8%2A16%2Ax.
Look at 72%2F-8%2Ax%5E2-highlight_red%28+1+%29%2F-8%2Ahighlight_red%28+16+%29%2Ax.
Multiplied numerator integers
It becomes 72%2F-8%2Ax%5E2-highlight_green%28+16+%29%2F-8%2Ax.
Result: 72%2F-8%2Ax%5E2-16%2F-8%2Ax

Universal Simplifier and Solver

Welcome to Graphical Universal Mathematical Expression Simplifier and Algebra Solver (GUMESS).
It solves most middle school algebra equations and simplifies expressions, and it SHOWS ALL WORK. It is free to use.

Enter expression to be simplified, or equation to be solved.
I will figure out if what you typed is an equation.

Enter Expression ==>     
Examples: x^2-2x=-1, 3x-x-x+a-a=5, (x^2-1)/(x+1), 2x-(x+x)


Single letter variables only, no functions, xy means x*y, x(x-1) means x*(x-1), sin(x) means s*i*n*(x)


You must use the "*" (star) symbol for all multiplications! x(x+1) is WRONG! It means a function x of x-1. x*(x-1) is right. Use the ^ (caret) for exponentiation. x^2 means x squared. x/2y means x%2F2y
Resources: Simplifier Portal, help with entering simplifier formulas (a must read).
