Hello there. To simplify this fraction, we can factor out the common term in the numerator and cancel the values:

Given the fraction:


(6x+12)/(2)

Notice we can rewrite the numerator as:


2\cdot(3x+6)

Therefore we have:


(2\cdot(3x+6))/(2)

Simplify the fraction by a factor of 2


3x+6

This is the result we've been looking for.
