Question

How do you simplify `((x-2)(2x+1))/((x^2-12)(x-2))`?

Answer 1

`((x-2)(2x+1))/((x^2-12)(x-2))=(2x+1)/(x^2-12)`

Explanation:

From the given expression, we can see a factor `(x-2)` both at the numerator and denominator

`((x-2)(2x+1))/((x^2-12)(x-2))=(cancel((x-2))(2x+1))/((x^2-12)cancel((x-2)))=(2x+1)/(x^2-12)`

God bless...I hope the explanation is useful.
