What is the simplified form of 2x-6/x-3? Im not quite sure where to start? Help please :)

Question

anonymous · Answer

Would I start by factoring the top fraction with 2, as in 1(x-3)?

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{ 2(x-3)}{ x-3 }$$

= 2   

x not equal to 3

anonymous · Answer

Does 2 not divide into 1?

Hi  sonny  :)
First   try  to  factor out  numerator   2x  - 6
so we  will get    2 ( x-  3)  
Then  cancel the  common term from numerator and denominator  ...

it's but 2/1 =2

anonymous · Answer

Alright, thank you both for your contributions. Always appreciated! So 2 is the answer and the restriction is 3 because x-3=0? :)
