Canceling Factors vs. Terms
Canceling Factors vs. Terms is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 1: Algebraic Fractions in Yoshiwara Elementary Algebra.
Key Concepts
Property We can cancel common factors (expressions that are multiplied together), but not common terms (expressions that are added or subtracted).
Examples Correct: $\frac{5(x+2)}{5} = x+2$ because 5 is a factor. Incorrect: $\frac{5x+2}{5} \neq x+2$ because 5 is not a factor of the entire numerator.
In the fraction $\frac{x+8}{y+8}$, you cannot cancel the 8s. They are terms being added, not factors being multiplied.
