Question

Find the quotient.

(4ab - 8a 2 + 12ac) ÷ 4a

Answer 1

if you simplify this way is easier

4ab -8a^2 +12ac
----- ------ ------ (now you can simplify)
4a 4a 4a

Answer 2

not exactly @ivettef365

Answer 3

ok you can eliminate 4a/4a on first one you have left only b
-8/4 = -2 and a^2/a = a, so you have -2a
then 12/4 = 3 and eliminate the a because a/a = 1 so you have 3c

now combine and you have

b-2a+3c
