Question

what is this in simplest form... (2x-6)/(x-3)

Answer 1

2(x - 6) / (x - 3)
= 2(x-3)/(x-3)
=2

Answer 2

with what restriction?

Answer 3

restriction is x cannot be 3

Answer 4

since the factor gets cancelled (so I think restriction not needed)...

Answer 5

oh actually there is one, since you are not allowed to cancel a zero, so \(x\) cannot be 3

Answer 6

which was your first answer, stick with it
