Q. Simplify the expression completely if possible.15x2−30x5x3Answer:
Factor out common terms: Factor out the common terms in the denominator.The denominator 15x2−30x can be factored by taking out the common factor of 15x.15x(x−2) is the factored form of the denominator.
Simplify by canceling factors: Simplify the expression by canceling out common factors.The expression (5x3)/(15x(x−2)) has a common factor of 5x in the numerator and the denominator.Canceling out the common factor of 5x, we get (x2)/(3(x−2)).
Check for further simplification: Check if further simplification is possible.The expression (x2)/(3(x−2)) cannot be simplified further because there are no more common factors and the numerator is not divisible by the denominator.
