simplify x-2/x

Solution

simplify

x - \frac{2}{x}

Solution

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

Solution steps

x - \frac{2}{x}

Apply the fraction rule:

a - \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a c - b}{c}

= \frac{xx - 2}{x}

Apply exponent rule:

aa = a^{2}

xx = x^{2}

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

Popular Examples

expand (2x+12)^2 expand

(2 x + 12)^{2}

simplify 3/(2a)+(a-2)/(6a^2)simplify

\frac{3}{2 a} + \frac{a - 2}{6 a ^{2}}

simplify (p+q)^3-(p-q)^3 simplify

(p + q)^{3} - (p - q)^{3}

simplify x^{3^3}simplify

x^{3^{3}}

simplify log_{3}(1/81)+log_{1/3}(1/81)simplify

lo g_{3} (\frac{1}{81}) + lo g_{\frac{1}{3}} (\frac{1}{81})
