Question

How do you simplify `(2x+6)/(2(x+3))`?

Answer 1

`color(blue)((2x+6))/(2(x+3))`

The terms of the numerator `color(blue)((2x+6)` have `color(blue)(2` in common.

We can rewrite the numerator as:
`color(blue)((2)(x+3)`

Now , our expression becomes:

`color(blue)cancel((2)(x+3))/cancel(2(x+3)`

`= 1`
