Question

How do you simplify this equation?

Answer 1

Answer: It's B

Step-by-step explanation:

22x2

Simplify ————————

12x2 - 4

4.1 Pull out like factors :

12x2 - 4 = 4 • (3x2 - 1)

Answer 2

The answer is B -->
`(x^(2) )/(3x^(2) -1)`

How I got that:

These are really easy, you're simply looking for numbers that you can factor down. Like here:

I took:

`(4x^(2) )/(12x^(2) -4)`

and saw that I could factor out 4 from the denominator:

`(4x^(2) )/(4(3x^(2) -1))`

and then I canceled out the common factor (4 because its on both sides):

`(x^(2) )/(3x^(2) -1)`

And there ya go!
