Question

can someone simplify 2x2 + x - 9 / 12(2x + 9) ?

Answer 1

2x2? Is that supposed to be 2x^2 or (2x)^2 or something else? What exactly is being divided by what? Please rewrite it using parentheses or the equation area below.

Note: frac{}{} allows you to write fractions in the equation area (but there isn't a button for it).

Answer 2

(2x^2 + x - 9)/(24x + 108)

Answer 3

So it's 2(x)^2, not (2x)^2, correct? Like so?
\[\frac{2x^{2}+x-9}{24x+108}\]

Answer 4

yes, exactly

Answer 5

\[{2x^2+x-9}\over{24x+108}\]
U have to distribute 12 btw 2x & 9 to gt the answer.

Answer 6

understood @ emkaye16???????

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

2x^2+x+9/12(2x+9)
I only distribute 12 btw 2x & 9 using distributive property.
2x^2+x+9/24x+108
