Q. Simplify. Write your answer using whole numbers and variables.\newline9x25xx\frac{9x^2 - 5x}{x}
  1. Divide by xx: Simplify the expression by dividing each term by xx. We have the expression 9x25xx\frac{9x^2 - 5x}{x}. To simplify, we divide each term in the numerator by the denominator xx.
  2. Divide 9x29x^2: Divide 9x29x^2 by xx.\newlineWhen we divide 9x29x^2 by xx, we subtract the exponents of xx (since x2/x=x21=x1=xx^2/x = x^{2-1} = x^1 = x).\newlineSo, 9x2/x=9x9x^2/x = 9x.
  3. Divide 5x-5x: Divide 5x-5x by xx.\newlineWhen we divide 5x-5x by xx, the xx terms cancel out (since 5x/x=5-5x/x = -5).\newlineSo, 5x/x=5-5x/x = -5.
  4. Combine results: Combine the results from Step 22 and Step 33. Combining the simplified terms from the previous steps, we get 9x59x - 5.
