\huge\text{Hey there!}


\huge\textbf{Equation:}


\mathbf{(15x^2 - 3x)/(-3x)}


\huge\textbf{Simplify the current equation:}


\mathbf{= (-3x(-5x + 1))/(-3x)}


\huge\textbf{Cancel out \boxed{\bf -3x} \& simplify it:}


\mathbf{= (-15x + 3)/(3)}


\huge\textbf{Simplify that above:}


\mathbf{= -5x + 1}


\huge\textbf{Therefore, your answer should be:}


\huge\boxed{\mathsf{-5x + 1 }}\huge\checkmark


\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}

Answer:

-5x + 1

Explanation:

Hello!

We can find the quotient by factoring the numerator, and cancelling common factors.

Simplify


  • (15x^2 - 3x)/(-3x)

  • ((-3x)(-5x + 1))/(-3x)

  • \frac{\\ot{(-3x)}(-5x + 1)}{\\ot{-3x}}

  • -5x +1

The quotient is (-5x + 1).
