2. x+6/4 multiplied by 2/3
3. 1/8 divided by 8/x

Answer 1

To reduce \(\Large \frac{x-2}{3x-6}\), factor out 3 from the expression 3x-6 to get 3(x-2). I'm sure at this point you see what cancels

Answer 10

\[\Large \frac{x-2}{3x-6} = \frac{x-2}{3(x-2)}\]

\[\Large \frac{x-2}{3x-6} = \frac{\cancel{x-2}}{3\cancel{(x-2)}}\]

\[\Large \frac{x-2}{3x-6} = \frac{1}{3}\]
