------------
x2-x-6

callisto · Answer

$$\frac{3x^2-15x + 18}{x^2-x-6}=\frac{3(x^2-5x+6)}{(x-6)(x+1)}=\frac{3(x-2)(x-3)}{(x-6)(x+1)}$$
... Cannot be simplified...

anonymous · Answer

im lost lol

callisto · Answer

Hmm.. Let's cross out the common factors you've found first :|
$$\frac{-32a^3b^3}{48a^3b^3} = \frac{-32}{48}$$
How would you further simplify it?
