Question

select the fully reduced form of this fraction.
\\(\frac{-6(14x + 3)}{-2(3 + 14x)}\\)
after you pick your answer press go.
a. 12 b. 3
c. 3(28x + 6) d. -4(14x + 3)
e. already fully reduced

Explanation:

Step1: Recognize equivalent binomials

Note that $14x + 3 = 3 + 14x$, so we can cancel these terms (for $14x + 3
eq 0$, or $x
eq -\frac{3}{14}$).
$\frac{-6\cancel{(14x + 3)}}{-2\cancel{(3 + 14x)}} = \frac{-6}{-2}$

Step2: Simplify the remaining fraction

Divide the numerator by the denominator.
$\frac{-6}{-2} = 3$

Answer:

B. 3
