See the entire solution process below:

First, rewrite this expression as:

#(6x^2 + 10x)/(2x)#

Next, factor #color(red)(2x)# from the term in the numerator:

#((color(red)(2x) xx 3x) + (color(red)(2x) xx 5))/(2x)#

#(color(red)(2x)(3x + 5))/(2x)#

Then, cancel the common terms in the numerator and denominator:

#(cancel(color(red)(2x))(3x + 5))/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(2x)))#

#3x + 5#, when #2x != 0# or #x != 0#
