Q. Simplify the expression completely if possible.18x26x2+42xAnswer:
Factor out common terms: Factor out the common terms in the numerator.We can factor out a 6x from the numerator to get 6x(x+7).
Simplify by division: Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by the common term.Since 6x is a common term in both the numerator and the denominator, we can divide both by 6x to simplify the expression.18x26x(x+7)=3xx+7
Check for further simplifications: Check for any further simplifications. There are no common factors remaining between the numerator and the denominator, and no further simplification is possible.
Write final expression: Write the final simplified expression.The simplified expression is (x+7)/(3x).
