Question

Simplify the rational expressions. State any excluded values. Show your work. (3x - 6)/(x - 2)

Answer 1

Hello,

Put the 3 as a common factor.

Look:

3x - 6 = 3 . ( x - 2 )

Then,

( 3x - 6) / (x - 2) = 3 .( x - 2) / (x -2)

Now simplity ( x -2)

= 3

Answer 2

3

Explanation:

We are given that a rational expression

`(3x-6)/(x-2)`

We have to simplify the rational expression.

To simplify the given expression we will take out common factor in numerator .

`(3x-6)/(x-2)=(3(x-2))/(x-2)`

Cancel out the same term in numerator and denominator . Then, we get

`(3x-6)/(x-2)=3`

Hence , the rational expression

`(3x-6)/(x-2)=3`

Answer:3
