Simplify (8x-16x^2)/(8x)

$\frac{8 x - 16 x^{2}}{8 x}$

Step 1

Factor $8 x$ out of $8 x - 16 x^{2}$ .

Factor $8 x$ out of $8 x$ .

$\frac{8 x (1) - 16 x^{2}}{8 x}$

Factor $8 x$ out of $- 16 x^{2}$ .

$\frac{8 x (1) + 8 x (- 2 x)}{8 x}$

Factor $8 x$ out of $8 x (1) + 8 x (- 2 x)$ .

$\frac{8 x (1 - 2 x)}{8 x}$

$\frac{8 x (1 - 2 x)}{8 x}$

Step 2

Cancel the common factor of $8$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{8 x (1 - 2 x)}{8 x}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{x (1 - 2 x)}{x}$

$\frac{x (1 - 2 x)}{x}$

Step 3

Cancel the common factor of $x$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{x (1 - 2 x)}{x}$

Divide $1 - 2 x$ by $1$ .

$1 - 2 x$

$1 - 2 x$
