Simplify by removing factors of 1
2w-4/2w
2w-4/2w
the only factor of 1 is 1. I dontknow how they want you to solve this with only factors of one.
but you could divide both sides by 2.
so you get w-2w
ok if i do this that is correct
2w-4/2w = 2(w-2)/2w = w-2/w
To simplify the expression by removing factors of 1, we need to eliminate any common factors in the numerator and the denominator.
First, let's factor out a 2 from both terms in the numerator:
(2w - 4) = 2(w - 2)
Now, let's factor out a 2 from both terms in the denominator:
2w = 2(w)
Now, we can cancel out the common factor of 2(w) in the numerator and denominator:
(2(w - 2))/(2(w)) = (w - 2)/w
So, the simplified expression after removing factors of 1 is (w - 2)/w.
