Question

(4ab - 8a 2 + 12ac) ÷ 4a Find the quotient. a) b - 2a2 + 3c b) b - 2a + 3c c) abc

Answer 1

Answer:

b) b - 2a + 3c

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is $\frac{4ab - 8a^2 +12ac}{4a}$

Let's factor out the numerator expression $4ab -8a^2 +12ab$

Here 4a is a greatest common factor. So we can take it out and write the remaining terms in the parenthesis.

$4ab -8a^2 +12ac = 4a(b -2a + 3c)$

The given expression can be written as

$\frac{(4a)(b-2a +3c) }{4a}$

We can cancel out 4a both in the numerator and in the denominator, we get

b - 2a + 3c

Answer 2

The correct answer would be B
