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

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

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

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

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