\[\frac{ 6x-12 }{ 10 }\] See any way of simplifying this?

OpenStudy (jenniferjuice):

divide???

Hint: factor the numerator first. Then, factor the denominator separately. Do you see any multiplier common to both numerator and denominator?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

6 and 12 have common factors. What are they? what are the factors of 10?
