simplify (2x-1)/(x+4)-1

Solution

simplify

\frac{2 x - 1}{x + 4} - 1

Solution

\frac{x - 5}{x + 4}

Solution steps

\frac{2 x - 1}{x + 4} - 1

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{- 1 \cdot ( x + 4 ) + 2 x - 1}{x + 4}

Apply rule:

1 \cdot a = a

- 1 \cdot (x + 4) = - (x + 4)

= \frac{- ( x + 4 ) + 2 x - 1}{x + 4}

Simplify

- (x + 4) + 2 x - 1 : x - 5

= \frac{x - 5}{x + 4}
