Question

The first step when dividing 9m2 − 4m − 6 by 3m is shown. Which could be the next step? 3m − − 3m − − 3m − − 3m − −

Answer 1

Given:

Consider the below picture attached with this question.

The given expression is:

`(9m^2)/(3m)-(4m)/(3m)-(6)/(3m)`

To find:

The next step.

Solution:

We have,

`(9m^2)/(3m)-(4m)/(3m)-(6)/(3m)`

Cancel out the common factors.

`=3m-(4)/(3)-(2)/(m)`

Therefore, the correct option is D.
