how would I simply this:
(y-2)/(2-y)
do you notice that the numerator and denominator are opposites?
eg. 2-y = -(y-2)
so it reduces to 1, (but y cannot be 2)
Thank you :)
To simplify the expression (y-2)/(2-y), you can start by factoring out -1 from the denominator:
(y-2)/[-1(y-2)]
Next, you can cancel out the common factor (y-2) in the numerator and denominator:
= -1
So, the simplified form of (y-2)/(2-y) is -1.
