Question

Simplify completely quantity 2 x minus 24 over 8.

Answer 1

(2x-24)/8
the only way to simplify it is divide every number by 2
(x-12)/4=(1/4)x-3

Answer 2

Answer: Our simplified form is :

$\frac{x}{4}-\frac{1}{2}$

Explanation:

Since we have given that

$\frac{2x-24}{8}$

Now, we have to simplify it:

First take out 2 as a common factor from the numerator:

$\frac{2(x-12)}{8}$

Then simplify number and denominator :

$\frac{(x-12)}{4}$

Now, Separate the denominator:

$\frac{x}{4}-\frac{2}{4}\\\\=\frac{x}{4}-\frac{1}{2}$

Hence, our simplified form is :

$\frac{x}{4}-\frac{1}{2}$
