Fraction Reduce to lowest terms???
Factor the top expression to pull out 2, then reduce. Post your work and tell us exactly what you don't understand if you require further assistance.
To reduce the fraction 6x + 2 / 8 to its lowest terms, we need to simplify both the numerator and denominator as much as possible.
First, let's factor out the common factor of 2 from the numerator:
(6x + 2) / 8 = 2(3x + 1) / 8
Now, let's simplify the fraction further. Since both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 2, we can divide both by 2:
2(3x + 1) / 8 = (3x + 1) / 4
Therefore, the fraction 6x + 2 / 8 reduced to its lowest terms is (3x + 1) / 4.
