• You can take out the (a + b) out of the numerator to get: (x - 2)(a + b) / -(2 - x) But the denominator is the same as: (x - 2) So you actually have: (x - 2)(a + b) / (x - 2) Which reduces to: (a + b)

  in how do you factor.. x(a+b)-2(a+b) over -(2-x)? Comment by edward-patel_60bc4f8e47006 June 2021
