Question

Divide the polynomial by the monomial denominator by writing the fraction as the sum (or difference) of fractions. Simplify your answer, if possible 3x−6/−3x

Answer 1

To divide the polynomial 3x-6 by the monomial -3x, we can write it as a fraction.

The fraction is (3x-6)/(-3x).

To simplify this fraction, we can factor out -3 from the numerator:

(3x-6)/(-3x) = -3(x-2)/(-3x)

Now, we can cancel out the -3 terms:

-3(x-2)/(-3x) = (x-2)/x

So, the simplified answer is (x-2)/x.
