Formula for finding the area of a rectangle: length x width
Formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism: V = lwh
6x+1 / 2x +6 - 5/2
Factor 2 out of the denominator of the first fraction:
6x+1 / 2(x+3) - 5/2
Rewrite 5/2 to have a common denominator with the first fraction:
6x+1/2(x+3) - 5(x+3) / 2(x+3)
Simplify terms:
6x +1 - 5(x+3) / 2(x+3)
Use distributive property:
6x +1 - 5x -15 / 2(x+3)
Combine like terms for final answer:
(x-14) / 2(x+3)
The statement of the relationship is a formula.
