1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
For all x>2, \frac{2x²+2x-12}{x-2} simplifies to:
2(x - 2), x + 3, 2(x + 3)(x - 2), x - 2 or 2(x + 3).
(Problem taken from http://www.analyzemath.com/practice_tests/act/act_sample_1.html, question five).
2. Relevant equations
None, AFAIK.
3. The attempt at a solution
I have seen the answer (which is 2(x+3)), but I couldn't figure out how to get there.
