Question

Help pretty please?

Answer 1

let x=1 and see which option matches (hit and trial) ;)

Answer 2

even 0 would do

Answer 3

altough the orthodox method would be to take 6 common from num and 5 from denom..hmm

Answer 4

?

Answer 5

nothing,,just put x=0 and see which option matches..

Answer 6

What does the numerator factor to?

Answer 7

I don't knoww :(

Answer 8

What is the GCF between 6 and -18 ?

Answer 9

6?

Answer 10

good, so 6x-18 = 6(x-3)

Do you see how I got that?

Answer 11

kinda. but which corresponds to the answer choices

Answer 12

basically if I re-distribute 6 back through, I get


6(x-3)

6*x - 6*3

6x - 18

Answer 13

Now factor the denominator

Answer 14

how

Answer 15

what is the GCF of 5 and -15?

Answer 16

5

Answer 17

good, so you can factor that from 5x-15 to get


5(x-3)

Answer 18

so

\[\Large \frac{6x-18}{5x-15}\]

becomes

\[\Large \frac{6(x-3)}{5(x-3)}\]

Answer 19

Do you see anything that cancels?

Answer 20

x-3

Answer 21

good

Answer 22

Answer 23
