jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

12x^2y -6xy +4x^2 ------------------- = 2xy what can you factorizing out in numerator ?

OpenStudy (ayonnaleflore):

2

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

and again there is anything

OpenStudy (ayonnaleflore):

2xy

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

the y i dont see it common for every terms - or how ?

OpenStudy (ayonnaleflore):

ok so just 2x

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes so than you factoriz out the 2x in numerator what will get ?

OpenStudy (ayonnaleflore):

2x(6x-3y+2x)

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

are you sure in the first term inside parantheses will be just 6x ?

OpenStudy (ayonnaleflore):

12/2=6

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes but then you check there above what is the first term exactly ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

just 12x^2 ?

OpenStudy (ayonnaleflore):

12x^2 y

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

exactly so than factoriz out the 2x what will reamain there ? just 6x ?

OpenStudy (ayonnaleflore):

6xy

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes sure

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

do you can continue it please ?

OpenStudy (ayonnaleflore):

im not sure how to factor whats in the ( )

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

not is necessary just rewrite it correct what you have wrote above factorizing out the 2x in numerator - ok. ?

OpenStudy (ayonnaleflore):

2x(6xy-3y+2x)

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes now is right and what is there in denominator what you can simplifie now ?

OpenStudy (ayonnaleflore):

the denominator is 2xy

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

exactly so there is in numerator 2x and in denominator 2x what you think do you can simplifie them now or not ?

OpenStudy (ayonnaleflore):

they would cancel out .... wouldn't they

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes sure you can cancel them out

OpenStudy (ayonnaleflore):

so 2x(6xy-3y) / y

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

2x you have said that cancel out from the front of parantheses so than why you have wrote it there again ?

OpenStudy (ayonnaleflore):

ok 6xy-3y / y

OpenStudy (ayonnaleflore):

is that right????

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

12x^2y -6xy +4x^2 ------------------- = 2xy 2x(6xy -6xy +4x^2) ------------------ = ? 2xy

OpenStudy (ayonnaleflore):

???????

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

after simplifie the 2x what you get there again ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

6xy-6xy = ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

12x^2y -6xy +4x^2 ------------------- = 2xy 2x(6xy -6xy +4x^2) ------------------- = 2xy 4x^2 ----- = ? y

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

do you see it why resulted this ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

sorry this 4x^2 is just 2x

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

because 2x was factorized out from 4x^2 what mean that will remain there just 2x yes ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so what will be the simplified result ?

OpenStudy (ayonnaleflore):

@jhonyy9 im lost now
