Q. Simplify. Write your answer using whole numbers and variables.g−10g2−10g
Identify Expression: Identify the expression to simplify.We have the expression (g2−10g)/(g−10). We should look for common factors in the numerator and the denominator that can be canceled out.
Factor Numerator: Factor the numerator.The numerator g2−10g can be factored by taking out the common factor g.g2−10g=g(g−10)
Rewrite Expression: Rewrite the expression with the factored numerator.Now the expression looks like this:g−10g(g−10)
Cancel Common Factor: Cancel out the common factor.The (g−10) term is present in both the numerator and the denominator, so we can cancel it out.g−10g(g−10)=g
