simplify (x^2-4)/(3x+6)

Solution

simplify

\frac{x ^{2} - 4}{3 x + 6}

Solution

\frac{x - 2}{3}

Solution steps

\frac{x ^{2} - 4}{3 x + 6}

Factor

x^{2} - 4 : (x + 2) (x - 2)

= \frac{( x + 2 ) ( x - 2 )}{3 x + 6}

3 x + 6 : 3 (x + 2)

= \frac{( x + 2 ) ( x - 2 )}{3 ( x + 2 )}

Cancel the common factor:

x + 2

= \frac{x - 2}{3}
