I have been asked to simplify this one:
12x3 + 8x2 / 6x2 + 4x
By factoring it out I have simplified it to 4x2 / 2x
Is there anything I can do to simplify it further? I know the rules of dividing powers and hence if it was 4x2 / 4x I know I could simplify it to to 4x (subtract the powers). however, I am not sure how this rule works when the coefficients of x are different as in this case.
