3x(2x + 1) over (2x - 1)(2x + 1) Cancel out the 2x + 1 Answer: 3x/2x - 1
the answer to this problem is -2x^2y^2
Factor the numerator. x+1 is one of its factors (otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to simplify it). Then cancel the identical factors in the numerator and the denominator.
8x-4
OK, SO 15x-3 = 2x+1 15x - 3 + 3 = 2x + 1 + 3 (add three to each side) 15x=2x+4 (simplIfy) 15x-2x=2x-2x+4 (subtract 2x from each side) 13x=4 (simplify) (13x/13)=(4/13) (divide each side by 13) x≈0.30769231

the answer to this problem is -2x^2y^2
5x+2x-3y+y = (5+2)x+(-3+1)y = 7x - 2y
Factor the numerator. x+1 is one of its factors (otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to simplify it). Then cancel the identical factors in the numerator and the denominator.

csc^2x+cot^2x=1
OK, SO 15x-3 = 2x+1 15x - 3 + 3 = 2x + 1 + 3 (add three to each side) 15x=2x+4 (simplIfy) 15x-2x=2x-2x+4 (subtract 2x from each side) 13x=4 (simplify) (13x/13)=(4/13) (divide each side by 13) x≈0.30769231
