Question

Simplify 4х+ 2-

Answer 1

Answer:

3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$4x + 2 - \frac{ {x}^{2} + x - 12}{x - 3} \\ \\ = 4x + 2 - \frac{ {x}^{2} + 4x - 3x- 12}{x - 3} \\ \\ = 4x + 2 - \frac{ {x}(x + 4) - 3(x + 4)}{x - 3} \\ \\ = 4x + 2 - \frac{ (x + 4) \cancel{(x- 3)}}{\cancel{(x- 3)}} \\ \\ = 4x + 2 - (x + 4) \\ \\ = 4x + 2 - x - 4 \\ \\ = 4x - x + 2 - 4 \\ \\ = 3x - 2$
