I hope this helps you


9m²/3m=3m


4m/3m=4/3


6/3m=2/m


3m-4/3-2/m

ANSWER


3m - (4 )/(3) - (2 )/( m)

Step-by-step explanation

The step shown is


\frac{9 {m}^(2) }{3m} - (4m)/(3m) - (6)/(3m)

This is the same as,


(3 * 3 * m * m )/(3 * m) - (4 * m)/(3 * m) - (2 * 3)/(3 * m)
The next thing to do now is to cancel out the common factors to obtain,




(3 * 1 * m * 1 )/(1 * 1) - (4 * 1)/(3 * 1) - (2 * 1)/(1 * m)


We simplify to get,


(3 m )/(1) - (4 )/(3) - (2 )/( m)
This gives us,


3m - (4 )/(3) - (2 )/( m)

The correct answer is D.
