How do you simplify 2x plus 4 over 3x plus 6?

Answer 1

We have (2x + 4) / (3x + 6). First, we should factor both the numerator and denominator as much as possible. We get:

(2*(x + 2)) / (3*(x + 2))

Now, we can simplify the fraction by eliminating terms found in both the numerator and denominator - in this case x + 2. We get:

2/3.

It should be noted that this equivalence is only valid for x not equal to -2. When x is -2, the denominator becomes 0, and dividing by 0 is undefined.
