Question

How do you solve this ?

Answer 1

When given a value of the variable, we replace each instance of the variable in the problem with that number. In this case, the expression becomes:

$\frac{3^2 + 3}{3 - 1}$

After this, we merely need to simplify the answer.

$\frac{9 + 3}{3 - 1}$

$\frac{12}{2}$

Simplifying 12/2 gives us the answer 6.
