Simplify: 2(x - 3) + 6 divided by 2
This is in fraction form and the 2(x - 3) + 6 is the top line and the 2 is the bottom line.
Thanks!

First get rid of the brackets,
2x - 6 + 6 / 2
Then simplify the top line
So we cant do anything with the 2x, so the -6 + 6 =0
Left with 2x / 2
Then if we can, remove the same from the top and bottom, so remove the 2.
Left with X.
Answer = x

[2 (x - 3) + 6] / 2
= (x - 3) + 3
= x

Well, the 2 starts out in the "distributive property" to multiply with the terms in the parentheses
2x-6+6 then divide by 2
-6+6 is zero
you have 2x divided by 2
the 2 cancels
you have x left

2(x - 3) + 6 divided by 2
= {2(x-3) + 6} / 2
= 2(x-3)/2 + 6/2
= (x-3) + 3
= x-3 +3
=x. . . .Ans
