Full solution

Q. Simplify. Write your answer using whole numbers and variables.\newlinej28jj8\frac{j^2 - 8j}{j - 8}
  1. Identify Expression: Identify the expression to be simplified.\newlineThe expression given is (j28j)/(j8)(j^2 - 8j) / (j - 8).
  2. Factor Numerator: Factor the numerator if possible.\newlineThe numerator j28jj^2 - 8j can be factored by taking out the common factor jj.\newlinej28j=j(j8)j^2 - 8j = j(j - 8)
  3. Simplify by Canceling: Simplify the expression by canceling out common factors.\newlineThe factor (j8)(j - 8) is common to both the numerator and the denominator, so we can cancel it out.\newlinej(j8)j8=j\frac{j(j - 8)}{j - 8} = j
  4. Write Final Expression: Write the final simplified expression.\newlineThe simplified expression is jj.
