The question
Check this line: (x² − 36) ÷ (x − 6) − x = 6. Which is correct?
Check this line: (x² − 36) ÷ (x − 6) − x = 6. Which is correct?
(x² − 36) ÷ (x − 6) − x
(x² − 36) ÷ (x − 6) − x=(x + 6) − x
(x² − 36) ÷ (x − 6) − x=(x + 6) − x
(x² − 36) ÷ (x − 6) − x=6
(x² − 36) ÷ (x − 6) − x=6
they wrote:6
- Do the step yourself first, then compare with their line.
- On your own, writing every step: (x² − 36) ÷ (x − 6) − x becomes (x + 6) − x.
- Tidy that up and it is 6.
- Now compare — this time the two agree, so their line is right.
