Full solution

Q. Simplify. Write your answer using whole numbers and variables.\newline4n29n4n9\frac{4n^2 - 9n}{4n - 9}
  1. Identify Expression: Identify the expression to be simplified.\newlineThe expression given is a rational expression (a fraction) where the numerator is 4n29n4n^2 - 9n and the denominator is 4n94n - 9.
  2. Factor Numerator: Factor the numerator if possible.\newlineWe look for common factors in the terms of the numerator. The terms 4n24n^2 and 9n-9n have a common factor of nn.\newline4n29n=n(4n9)4n^2 - 9n = n(4n - 9)
  3. Cancel Common Factors: Simplify the expression by canceling out common factors.\newlineThe numerator is now n(4n9)n(4n - 9), and the denominator is 4n94n - 9. We can see that the factor (4n9)(4n - 9) is common to both the numerator and the denominator, so we can cancel it out.\newlinen(4n9)4n9=n\frac{n(4n - 9)}{4n - 9} = n
  4. Write Final Expression: Write the final simplified expression.\newlineAfter canceling out the common factor, we are left with nn as the simplified expression.
