If so, then start by factoring the numerator.
The terms in the numerator are 4x and 16.
What is the largest factor they have in common?

HI!!

misty1212 · Answer

the largest number that goes in to 4,16 and 6 evenly is just 2

misty1212 · Answer

divide each term by 2

misty1212 · Answer

$$\frac{4x+16}{6}=\frac{2x+3}{3}$$ that is the best you can do

mathstudent55 · Answer

The largest factor of 4x and 16 is 4, so factor 4 out of the numerator.
