So at the beginning, the friends eat 3 meat pies in total. So that leaves two meat pies left.
So basically, we divide the meat pies by the number of friends.
2/6 is 1/3
So each friend needs to eat 1/3 of a meat pie
4/7 is the simplest form
You can divide 20 by 5 and get 4 and divide 35 by 5 and get 7
Answer:
- 3x² is a term in the numerator
- x + 1 is a common factor
- The denominator has 3 terms
Step-by-step explanation:
You can identify terms and count them before you start factoring. Doing so will identify 3x² as a term in the numerator, and will show you there are 3 terms in the denominator.
When you factor the expression, you get ...

This reveals a common factor of x+1.
So, the above three observations are true of this rational expression.
