Question

Simplify quantity 15 x squared minus 18 end quantity over 6

Answer 1

Answer:

(5x^2-6)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First step: Find a GCF

(15x^2-18)/6

All are divisible by 3, so divide all of the numbers by 3.

(5x^2-6)/2

That is the final answer

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{5}{3}x^2-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

so (15x^2-18)/6?  This is what I am assuming.

We can factor a 3 from the numerator and get 3(5x^2-6)/6 and from here the 3/6 simplifies to 1/3

(5x^2-6)/3

5x^2/3 - 6/3

5x^2/3 - 2

That's about as simple as it can get really
