Could you show me the order of operation I can utilize to solve: 2x^2-6x/6x-5 divide x-3/6x-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(2x ^{2}-6x)\div (6x-5) \div (x-3/6x-5)\] is it this operation u want to solve @Unevie_Benie

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I apologize, the 2x^2-6x is above 6x-5 (like a fraction)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can do it in the order above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am not sure of what steps to take to solve. I am looking at youtube videos now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean? Do you have a value for x? or do you want to find the zeros of this equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Simplify to lowest terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is simple! The operation you have is equivalent to: \[[(2x ^{2}-6x)\div(6x-5)] \times[(6x-5)\div (x-3)]\]. So you can simplify by (6x-5) Your fraction is reduced to:\[(2x ^{2}-6x)\div (x-3)\] and :\[2x ^{2}-6x \] is equal to\[2x (x-3)\] You can simplify by x-3 and the final result will be \[2x\]

@Unevie_Benie I think you can manage now! :) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, I think I can. I will write it again so I am familiar with the steps and know how to apply them - I sincerely appreciate this. Thank you.
