Q. Simplify. Write your answer using whole numbers and variables. k2−2kk
Factor out common term: Factor out the common term in the denominator. The common term in the denominator k2−2k is k. So, we factor k out to get k(k−2).
Simplify by canceling: Simplify the expression by canceling out the common k term in the numerator and the denominator. The k in the numerator cancels with one k in the denominator, leaving us with k−21.
Check for further simplifications: Check for any further simplifications. Since there are no common factors left and no like terms to combine, the expression is now in its simplest form.
Write final answer: Write the final answer. The simplified expression is k−21.
