fraction to simplest form?

Question

x2ndpower-36/x2nd power+6x=

Answer 1

You have (x^2-36) / (x^2+6x).

The numerator is a difference of two squares, so it factors into (x+6)(x-6).

The denominator can be factored into x(x+6).

Cancel the (x+6)'s above and below. You're left with (x-6)/x, which can also be written as 1-6/x.

Answer 2

You can state the expression as follows:

(x^2 - 36)/(x^2 + 6x)

The numerator can be referred to as the difference of two squares, and can be factored into (x + 6)(x - 6)

The denominator can be factored into x(x + 6)

So the expression can now be written as

[(x + 6)(x - 6)]/[x(x + 6)]

And (x + 6) can be removed from both the numerator and denominator

(x - 6)/x

is the simplest form

Answer 3

x^2 - 36 / x^2 + 6x
= (x-6)(x+6) / (x)(x+6)
= (x-6)/x
or 1 - 6/x

Answer 4

lets say ur problem is 4/8 all you have to do is divide both by something that goes into them. the easiest way to do this is by 2 for evens or 3 by odds. somewhat>!?
