Q. Simplify. Write your answer using whole numbers and variables.5n−35n2−3n
Identify Terms: Identify the terms in the numerator and the denominator.The expression is a fraction with a polynomial in the numerator and a binomial in the denominator.Numerator: 5n2−3nDenominator: 5n−3
Factor Greatest Common Factor: Factor out the greatest common factor in the numerator.The greatest common factor in the numerator is n.5n2−3n=n(5n−3)
Rewrite with Factored Numerator: Rewrite the expression with the factored numerator.The expression now looks like this:5n−3n(5n−3)
Cancel Common Terms: Cancel out the common terms in the numerator and the denominator.The term (5n−3) is common to both the numerator and the denominator, so we can cancel it out.The simplified expression is n.
