Question

simplify
42a-18b
---------
6

Answer 1

\[\huge{7a-3b}\]

Answer 2

There's a way to do this.
Take 6 as a common factor, then factor 42a - 18b.
The thing inside the bracket would be the answer.

Answer 3

Or, you could do term-by-term division.

Answer 4

we can write \(\huge{\frac{a-b}{c}=\frac{a}{c}-\frac{b}{c}}\)

Answer 5

hence we will write it as \(\huge\frac{42a}{6}-\frac{18b}{6}\)\(\huge{=}\)\(\huge{7a-3b}\)
