Question

Simplify completely 12 times x to the third power minus 4 times x to the 2nd power plus 8 times x all over negative 2 times x.

Answer 1

Isolate the x and the 2 from the top of the equation, then cancel those out from the bottom, then divide out the -1. after that you are left with -6x²+2x-4

Answer 2

$\frac{12x^3 - 4x^2 +8x}{-2x}$

Simplified...

-(2(3x² - x + 2))

Hope this helps :)
