Simplify completely

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 3x+18 }{ 18 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What math are you in ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok when simplifying a division like this one you have to divide both sides of the numerator(the numbers above) by the denominator(the number below)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, start by dividing numerator 18 by numerator 18. what do we get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

denumerator sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can't do the work for you sorry

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

well first of all you have to get x alone

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

so divide 3x by 18

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

and you get... ill let you solve that

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

after wards youll get 6 over 18

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

then simplify

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

so youll get like 3/6 or 1/2 i believe

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I know for sure it simplifies to 3x. I just dont know if that's the simplest form.

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

1/2 is simplest form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

possible answers are x, 3x, x+6/6 & x+18/6

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

can you put those in order

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x is definitely your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the lesson is simplifying rational expressions

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

yep its 3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ashhhrodriguez That's exactly what I thought, but I wanted to double check.

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

good job then

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):

any other questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha you were right !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks, I have a couple more, look for my posts, earn some medals & whatnot.

OpenStudy (some.random.cool.kid):
