Question

PLEASE HELP (IMAGE ATTACHED)

the answer I get is -8+35x over 5x
But what does it simplify to?

Answer 1

(-8 + 35x) / 5x or -8 / 5x + 7 (same)

Explanation:

(-32x^8 + 140x^9) / 20x^9 =

= -32x^8 / 20x^9 + 140x^9 / 20x^9 =

= -8 / 5x + 7 =

= (-8 + 7 * 5x) =

= (-8 + 35x) / 5x

P.S. you can also simplify this, but only when the value of x is known
