could someone help me with math?

Question

(x²−10x+25) /(x−5)

Answer 1

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

On this type of question you want to factor and then cancel if possible. This one becomes

(x – 5)(x-5) / (x – 5), meaning that one of the (x-5) terms cancels to just leave you with

(x-5) / 1

=(x-5)

I hope that helps get you moving in the right direction! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)

Answer 2

Factor the numerator into (x-5)(x-5).

 

Cancel an (x-5) out of both the numerator and denominator and you are left with (x-5)/1 or just x-5.

 

Looks like you could work on factoring. If I can help let me know.
