How do I simplify this abstract expression?

Question

x(mx - 1)/ (m^2)(x^2) -2mx

I need to know how to arrive at the ANSWER, which is as follows:

mx -1 / (m^2) (x) - 2m

Thanks!

Answer 1

x(mx - 1)/ (m²x² -2mx)
= (x)(mx - 1)/ (x)(m²x -2m)

Note there is a common factor of x which we can cancel:
= (mx - 1)/ (m²x -2m)
There you go

(PS Be careful to use brackets as needed)

Answer 2

Brackets will make question read as:-
x.(m x - 1) / ( m ² x ² - 2m x)
= x.(m x - 1) / m x.(m x - 2)
= (m x - 1) / m.(mx - 2)
= (m x - 1) / (m ² x - 2 m)

Answer 3

x is a common element of each part of this quotient:
X(mx-1)/[(m^2)(X^2) - 2mX]. So divide both numerator and denomenator by x, specifying that x is not = 0.

Answer 4

factor out an x from the bottom, and you're good!
