Help please? need to know if I'm solving this right! problem is in comments!

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ \rm hello~ !}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-4q-22q+12)/2q+1

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \rm \frac{-4q^2-22q+12}{2q+1} }\) ?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Like this ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i solve it? I started but I think im doing it wrong

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \rm \frac{-2(2q-1)(q+6)}{2q+1} }\) that is how it's factored. Hence it (really) can't be simplified.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do I do that though? Can you walk me through hhow you did it?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Well I factored the top into \(\large\color{blue}{ \rm (-4q+2)(q+6) }\) and then simplified the first parenthesis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when checking the answer, its not correct according to the book..

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Then you wrote the question incorrectly. I am positive about what I say.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(4q^2-22q+12) divide by (2q+1)
