Perform the operation and write the result in standard form.
___16___
2x+2
Use brackets to write the fractions, such as
1/(2x) + 6/2 , <---- that was a guess, I can't tell what you meant
16/(2x+2)
16/(2x+2) = 8/(x+1)
To simplify the expression and write it in standard form, we need to perform the operation of division. Here is how to do it:
1. Divide the numerator by the denominator: 16 ÷ (2x + 2).
2. To divide by a binomial (2x + 2), we need to factor out a common factor. In this case, the common factor is 2. So, the expression becomes: 16 ÷ 2( x + 1).
3. Divide both 16 and 2 by 2: 8 ÷ (x + 1).
4. The expression 8 ÷ (x + 1) is already in standard form. It cannot be simplified further.
Therefore, the result in standard form is 8 ÷ (x + 1).
