How do you simplify #(6x^2)/(4x^2) - 54/36#?
1 Answer
Just in case simplification gives you a problem I have shown every step. Also a trick to test for divisibility by 3
Answer is 0. Becomes undefined at
Explanation:
Write as:
But
1 times anything does not change the value. So we can disregard the
Now we have:
Notice that all the numbers are even. If simplifying gives you a problem you can use this type of approach:
Notice that for 27 we have
Notice that for 18 we have the same thing:
So we can divide both top and bottom by 3
