How do you simplify #(2x+10x+12) div (x+3) #?

Answer 1

Abigail Allen

#(2x+10x+12)div(x+3)#

#=(12x+12)/(x+3)#

#=(12(x+1))/(x+3)# (it's not much, but maybe it's a bit simpler)

To simplify the expression ( \frac{2x+10x+12}{x+3} ), first combine like terms in the numerator:

[ 2x + 10x + 12 = 12x + 12 ]

Now, perform polynomial division:

[ \frac{12x + 12}{x + 3} ]

Using polynomial long division or synthetic division, divide (12x + 12) by (x + 3) to find the quotient.
