4n+5

Explanation:

We have the function (12n^2+15n)/(3n)

Taking a good look at the numerator, we realize that we can factor 3n out:

(3n(4n+5))/(3n)

We have a 3n on top and on the bottom, so this becomes:

4n+5, the answer!

You have to find the factors of all of the terms, then simplify as needed.

Explanation:

You start off with this:

(12n^2 + 15n)/(3n)

Then, you take out the common factors:

(3n(4n+5))/(3n)

Finally, you simplify by cancelling the 3n from the numerator and the denominator:

4n+5

And you're done!
