What is the simplified form of (6x+10) divided (3x-2)?
The simplified form of (6x+10)/(3x-2) is 2.
Ridiculous answer!!!
(6x+10) ÷ (3x-2)
= 3(2x + 5)/(3x - 2) or 2 + 14/(3x-2)
neither answer would be considered a simplification
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. You are correct that the simplified form of (6x+10)/(3x-2) is:
3(2x+5)/(3x-2)
or
2 + 14/(3x-2)
Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
To simplify the expression (6x+10) divided by (3x-2), you can use the long division method. Here are the steps you need to follow:
Step 1: Divide the first term of the numerator (6x) by the first term of the denominator (3x). The result is 2.
Step 2: Multiply the quotient obtained in Step 1 (2) by the entire denominator (3x-2). The result is 6x-4.
Step 3: Subtract the result obtained in Step 2 (6x-4) from the numerator (6x+10).
(6x+10) - (6x-4) = 6x + 10 - 6x + 4 = 14
Step 4: Bring down the next term of the numerator (-4).
Step 5: Repeat steps 1-4 until there are no terms left in the numerator.
In this case, there are no terms left in the numerator. Therefore, the final quotient is 2.
So, the simplified form of (6x+10) divided by (3x-2) is 2.
