Question

Rahul bought (x^2+9x+18) sweets which are to be distributed among (x+3) childern equally.Find the number of sweets that each child gets.

Answer 1

x + 6

Explanation:

divide the number of sweets by the number of children, that is

`(x^2+9x+18)/(x+3)`

=
`((x+3)(x+6))/(x+3)` ← factor numerator

cancel the factor (x + 3) on the numerator/denominator

number of sweets = x + 6 per child
