OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Hint* what can you factor out of the denominator?

OpenStudy (phebe):

idk

OpenStudy (phebe):

the 6x

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

What does each term in the denominator have in common? Each one has at least 1 'x' in them...so we can factor out an 'x' If we take an 'x' from each term...what do we have left?

OpenStudy (phebe):

the equation

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

\[\large \frac{x}{6x - x^2}\] Once we factor out an 'x' from the bottom...we have \[\large \frac{x}{x(6 - x)}\] make sense so far?

OpenStudy (phebe):

yess

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Good...so now notice that we have an 'x' in the numerator....and an 'x' in the denominator \[\large \frac{\cancel{x}}{\cancel{x}(6 - x)}\] so now we just have \[\large \frac{1}{6 - x}\]

OpenStudy (phebe):

yepp we do

@johnweldon1993

OpenStudy (phebe):
