Question

Please help!!!!!!!!!
does x/x+6 simplify to 1/6 explain why or why not

Answer 1

No, it does not.

x and x + 6 are both prime and cannot be factored.

There are no common factors to divide out.

x over x + 6 is already simplified.

If you substitute in a value for x, the fraction will not be equal to 1/6.

Answer 2

No. While x/x can equal one, since anything divided by itself will give you 1, You’re left with 1+6, not 1/6.
