anonymous · Answer

Sorry I was away for a moment @praxer Idk I tried it out but no

anonymous · Answer

3x^2 + 24x + 45/  3x + 15

Factor 3 from the numerator and denominator.
$$3(x^{2}+8x+15)/3(x+5)$$

anonymous · Answer

The 3's cancel from the num and denom. leaving:
(x^2+8x+15)/(x+5)
Now factor the numerator and simplif...hint...it probably has an x+5 in it.

anonymous · Answer

Did u get (x+3)(x+5)/(x+5)?  The (x+5)'s cancel out leaving...

anonymous · Answer

yeah
