Question

Following question needs simplifying. Can you please help me double check my answer? (6)

Answer 1

6)

Given:

`(12x)/(3)`

12 can be factorsied as 2 x 2 x 3.

Hence,

`\begin{gathered} (12x)/(3)=(2*2*3x)/(3) \\ \end{gathered}`

Cancel out the common factor 3 in the denominator and the numerator of RHS of above equation.

`\begin{gathered} (12x)/(3)=2*2x \\ =4x \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the simplified expression is 4x.
