$\frac{x - 2}{2}$ $(x-2)/(2)$

$= \frac{3 x - 6}{6}$ $=(3x-6)/(6 )$

$= \frac{3 (x - 2)}{6}$ $=(3(x-2))/(6 )$

$= \frac{x - 2}{2}$ $=(x-2)/(2)$

You only need to simplify the coefficients, but it will net you $\frac{x}{2} - 1$ $x/2-1$ as the simplified answer.

Treat the two terms in the numerator as separate fractions:

$\frac{3 x - 6}{6} = \frac{3 x}{6} - \frac{6}{6}$ $(3x-6)/6=(3x)/6-6/6$

$\frac{3 x}{6} - 1 = \frac{3}{6} x - 1$ $(3x)/6-1=3/6x-1$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} x - 1 = \frac{x}{2} - 1$ $color(green)(rArr1/2x-1 = x/2-1$
