Question

Can someone PLZ Describe the mathematic process of canceling like factors when working with rational expressions step-by-step IN WORDS.

Answer 1

any example

Answer 2

(3a^2-9a-12)/(6a^2+30a+24)

Answer 3

3a^2 - 9a -12 = 3(a^2 -3a -4) = 3(a-4)(a+1)
6a^2 +30a +24 = 6(a^2 +5a +4) = 6(a+1)(a+4)
\[\frac{3a^2 - 9a -12}{6a^2 +30a +24} = \frac{3(a+1)(a-4)}{6(a+1)(a+4)} = \frac{a-4}{2(a+4)}\]

Answer 4

3(a2 -3a-4)/6(a2 +5a +4)
