simplify (x^2-4)/(x^2-2x)

Solution

simplify

\frac{x ^{2} - 4}{x ^{2} - 2 x}

Solution

\frac{x + 2}{x}

Solution steps

\frac{x ^{2} - 4}{x ^{2} - 2 x}

Factor

x^{2} - 4 : (x + 2) (x - 2)

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

Factor

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

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

Cancel the common factor:

x - 2

= \frac{x + 2}{x}
