im not asking for you to do im asking for help on how to do it. i see what your saying but when i go back to my work it doesnt add up

stamp · Answer

(2x+6) = 2(x+3)

because you knew that 2 and 6 were both even meaning they share a common factor of 2

(x+3)/(x+3) = 1

but you already know that because anything divide by itself is equal to one.
