simplify (x^2-1)/(x^2-x)

Solution

simplify

\frac{x ^{2} - 1}{x ^{2} - x}

Solution

\frac{x + 1}{x}

Solution steps

\frac{x ^{2} - 1}{x ^{2} - x}

Factor

x^{2} - 1 : (x + 1) (x - 1)

= \frac{( x + 1 ) ( x - 1 )}{x ^{2} - x}

Factor

x^{2} - x : x (x - 1)

= \frac{( x + 1 ) ( x - 1 )}{x ( x - 1 )}

Cancel the common factor:

x - 1

= \frac{x + 1}{x}
