Simplify 2 - 3x}{6x - 45x^2}" alt="\frac{9x^2 - 3x}{6x - 45x^2}" align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula">

Answer 1

There are multiple ways of going about this, but what I find easiest for a problem like this is to find the GCF of all the terms.

The GCF of $9x^2,-3x,6x,-45x^2$ is $3x$.

Meaning that we can take out 3x out of all the terms and still be left with the simplest, yet equivalent for of the expression.

$\frac{2x-1}{2-15x}$
