How would I factor this problem:

2x over x-y

How would I factor this problem: 2x over x-y

One does not factor that sort of expression.

 

[Jared Williams]

Ok

The directions say that I should factor(if possible) and simplify the following Expressions.

x-y over xy times xy over x-y

\(\displaystyle \L
\frac{{x - y}}{{xy}}\frac{{xy}}{{x - y}} = 1,\mbox{ if }\quad x \not= y\quad \& \quad x \not= 0\quad \& \quad y \not= 0\)
