Which expression is equivalent to 2x^2+2x-4/2x^2-4x+2

A is correct (x+2)/(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the top and bottom by 2, to simplify

[2(x^2+x-2)]/[2(x^2+2x+1)]

The 2's cancel each other out, since 2/2 would be 1.

Now factor (x^2+x-2)/(x^2+2x+1)

[(x+2)(x-1)]/[(x-1)(x-1)]

Now you can cancel out one of the (x-1) on top and bottom. All that's left is (x+2)/(x-1) which is your answer. Hope this helps!

if a = 1,   and b = 2, then the answer is 47.99999999. if you round that to the nearest whole number, the answer is 48.
