Question

Which expression represents (12x - 6x + 2)/2 in simplest form? B 3x + 2 C 6x + 1 D. 3x + 1

Answer 1

Answer:

3x + 1

Explanations:

The given expression is:

`\frac{12x\text{ - 6x + 2}}{2}`

Since 12x - 6x = 6x, the expression then becomes:

`\frac{6x\text{ + 2}}{2}`

Factor out 2 from the numerator

`\frac{2(3x\text{ + 1)}}{2}`

2 cancels out at both the numerator and denominator

The final expression becomes 3x + 1
