Question

Simplify the rational expressions. State any excluded values. Show your work. (3x - 6)/(x - 2)

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

We  are given that a rational expression

$\frac{3x-6}{x-2}$

We have to simplify the rational expression.

To simplify the given expression we will take out common factor in numerator .

$\frac{3x-6}{x-2}=\frac{3(x-2)}{x-2}$

Cancel out the same term in  numerator and denominator . Then, we get

$\frac{3x-6}{x-2}=3$

Hence , the rational expression

$\frac{3x-6}{x-2}=3$

Answer:3

Answer 2

Hello,

Put the 3 as a common factor.

Look:

3x - 6 = 3 . ( x - 2 )

Then,

( 3x - 6) / (x - 2) = 3 .( x - 2) / (x -2)

Now simplity ( x -2)

= 3
