Rewrite as multiplication: Rewrite the division problem as a multiplication problem by taking the reciprocal of the second fraction.(2x3−3x2)/(2x+3)÷(x2)/(2x+3) becomes (2x3−3x2)/(2x+3)×(2x+3)/x2.
Identify expression after multiplication: Identify the expression after multiplying the numerators and the denominators.(2x3−3x2)/(2x+3)×(2x+3)/x2=(2x3−3x2)×(2x+3)/(2x+3)×x2.
Simplify by canceling common factors: Simplify the expression by canceling out the common factors in the numerator and the denominator.The (2x+3) terms cancel each other out, leaving us with x22x3−3x2.
Divide terms in numerator: Divide each term in the numerator by x2. x22x3−x23x2=2x−3.
