.
Steps to simplifying fractions
Find the GCD (or HCF) of numerator and denominator
GCD of 6 and 2 is 2
Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD
6 ÷ 2
2 ÷ 2
Reduced fraction:
3
1
Therefore, 6/2 simplified to lowest terms is 3/1.
3t = 5(3-t)
3t = 15 - 5t
3t + 5t = 15
8t = 15
t = 15/8
t = 1 7/8
7/8 * 60 mins = 52.50 minutes
t = 1 hour and 52.5 minutes
It took Stu 1 hour and 52.5 minutes to hike the trail one way.

The x-axis intercepts are the roots of the polynomial. So, the roots are x = - 2, x = - 1 and x = 3.
Therefore, the polynomial can be factored as:
(x - (-2)) * ( x - (-1) ) * (x - 3) = (x + 2)(x + 1)(x - 3).
Answer: (x + 2) (x + 1) (x - 3)
