Q. Simplify. Write your answer using whole numbers and variables.j−8j2−8j
Identify Expression: Identify the expression to be simplified.The expression given is (j2−8j)/(j−8).
Factor Numerator: Factor the numerator if possible.The numerator j2−8j can be factored by taking out the common factor j.j2−8j=j(j−8)
Simplify by Canceling: Simplify the expression by canceling out common factors.The factor (j−8) is common to both the numerator and the denominator, so we can cancel it out.j−8j(j−8)=j
