Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The expression can be simplified by factoring out common terms. The numerator is already simplified, but the denominator can be factored as $5(x - 2)$. Thus, the expression becomes $\frac{2 - x}{5(x - 2)}$. By rearranging the numerator as $-(x - 2)$, the expression simplifies to $-\frac{1}{5}$.
