plz help @tcarroll010

anonymous · Answer

Big hint: you can factor out the "b + 4" term in the denominator by factoring the numerator.  The numerator is equal to "b + 4" times another expression involving "b".

anonymous · Answer

ok i'm sorry i don't get it

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{ \cancel{(b + 4)}(someexpression involving b }{ \cancel{(b + 4)} }$$

anonymous · Answer

wait so then do you have 3b^2+12b?

anonymous · Answer

The "b + 4" will come out of the top and bottom.  Just factor the numerator.

anonymous · Answer

You have to find a factor such that that factor times "b + 4" equals the current numerator.  You have to factor.

anonymous · Answer

Your answer is the result of subtraction and is not correct.  You have to divide.

anonymous · Answer

ok so is it 3b?
