Question 42633: solve having problems with this one
x^2-9 over 4x-12 show work
this is what I came up with
(x-3)(x+3) over 4(x+3)
answer: x-3 over 4

Answer by checkley71(8403)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(x~2-9)/(4x-12) or (x-3)(x+3)/4(x-3) or cancelling out (x-3) we are left with
(x+3)/4
your mistake is 4x-12 is not 4(x+3) but 4(x-3)
