simplify (2n-8)/(n^2-16)

Solution

simplify

\frac{2 n - 8}{n ^{2} - 16}

Solution

\frac{2}{n + 4}

Solution steps

\frac{2 n - 8}{n ^{2} - 16}

Factor

2 n - 8 : 2 (n - 4)

= \frac{2 ( n - 4 )}{n ^{2} - 16}

Factor

n^{2} - 16 : (n + 4) (n - 4)

= \frac{2 ( n - 4 )}{( n + 4 ) ( n - 4 )}

Cancel the common factor:

n - 4

= \frac{2}{n + 4}
