Answer 1

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, notice that we can cancel out an x in the second term. Thus:

$\frac{3x^2}{x^2+x} =\frac{3x^2}{x(x+1)} =\frac{3x}{x+1}$

As with the last question, change the sign to multiplication and "flip" the second term:

$\frac{2x-1}{x+1}\cdot \frac{x+1}{3x}$

Multiply straight across:

$=\frac{(2x-1)(x+1)}{(x+1)(3x)}$

Cancel the (x+1) term:

$=\frac{2x-1}{3x}$

Cannot be simplified further.
