Question

The first step when dividing 9m^2 − 4m − 6 by 3m is shown.

Which could be the next step?

3m − 3/4 −m/2
3m − 3/4 − 2/m
3m − 4/3 − m/2
3m − 4/3 − 2/m

Ok.

Answer 11

So we can treat this as a fraction. By dividing the quadratic by 3m, we would find that our problem would look like this\[\frac{ 9m ^{2}-4m-6 }{ 3m }\] which is equivalent to \[\frac{ 9m ^{2} }{3m}-\frac{ 4m }{ 3m }-\frac{ 6 }{ 3m }\]
By solving it out, you would find that you would get \[3m-\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }-\frac{ 2 }{ m }\]
All it takes it cancelling out terms that can be simplified and you have your answer.
