1)) Simplify.Write your answer using whole numbers and variables. (2x^2-10x+12)/(x-3) square

Question

Answer 1

To simplify the expression

, we need to factor the numerator and see if it has a common factor with the denominator.First, let's factor the numerator

:1. Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from the numerator:

2. Now, factor the quadratic expression

:

So, the numerator becomes:

Now, rewrite the original expression with the factored form of the numerator:

3. Cancel the common factor \((x - 3)\) in the numerator and the denominator:

Thus, the simplified form of the given expression is:
