Question

Could someone show me the steps in a clear way? What is the simplified form of the quantity 12z^2 - 25z + 12 / 3z^2 + 2z - 8?

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 12z^2-25z+12 }{ 3z^2+2z-8 }\]

Answer 2

what do i do first?

Answer 3

so would i factor each equation in this case?

Answer 4

Yeah. Factor the top one first and then the bottom.

Answer 5

(3z+4)(4z+3)/(3z+4)(z-2) After cancelling out 3z+4, I'm left with 4z+3/z-2.
