Question

18/2x-6
step by step please ​

Answer 1

`(9)/(x-3)`

Convert the problem into split up expressions.

`(18)/(2)(x - 6)`

Take both 6 and 18's most common factor here, 2, and divide by 2 to simplify.

`(18)/(2) = 9\\\\(6)/(2) = 3`

Cancel.

18 becomes 9

6 becomes 3

The equation turns into:

`(9)/(x - 3)`

note that because we, "canceled" 2, that also means it does not appear in the simplified form since it was a factor.
