Question

Divide. X^2-4/x-8/x-2

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is...

 x + 2

-----------

 x - 8

Answer 2

I must assume you mean: 

[(x^2 - 4) / (x - 8)] / [x - 2] -----> express this way: 

[(x^2 - 4)] / [(x - 8)(x - 2)] 

But x^2 - 4 = x^2 - 2^2, which is a difference of squares: a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b) -----> 

[(x + 2)(x - 2)] / [(x - 8)(x - 2)] -----> (x - 2) gets cancelled out -----> 

(x + 2) / (x - 8) 

That's your answer. I hope this helps
