The answer, which is the simplified value of the expression:
"(4x + 6) / (2x + 3)" ; is: " 2 " .

Step-by-step explanation:
___________________________________________________

Let us assume that you meant to write the expression:

(4x + 6) / (2x + 3) ;

In the "numerator"; we can "factor out" a "2" ; and rewrite the expression as:


(2(2x+3))/(2x+3) ;

The "
((2x+3))/((2x+3))" cancels out to "1" ;

since any value, divided by that same value, equals "1" ; and we are left with:


"
(2)/(1)" ; which equals "2" .

The answer, which is the simplified value of the expression:
"(4x + 6) / (2x + 3)" ; is: " 2 " .

First we can divide 6/2x to get 3x.
Then we add that to 4x to get 7x + 3.
That is now fully simplified. Hope this helps!
