Respuesta :

When you cancel the (x - 5) from the top and bottom, you are left with 1/(x - 4).

Answer:

[tex]\dfrac{1}{x-4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

[tex]\dfrac{x-5}{(x-5)(x-4)}[/tex]

We need to find an expression which is equivalent to the given expression.

In the given expression (x-5) is common in numerator and denominator.

The given expression can be written as

[tex]\dfrac{x-5}{x-5}\times \dfrac{1}{x-4}[/tex]

Cancel out the common factors.

[tex]1\times \dfrac{1}{x-4}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{1}{x-4}[/tex]

Therefore, the expression [tex]\dfrac{1}{x-4}[/tex] is equivalent to the given expression.
