SOLUTION: Ok, I have to simplify the following expression, (3x^2-9x+6)/(10-5x). For the first expression I got 3x^2-3x-6x+6 which I broke down to 3x(x-1)-6(x-1)=(3x-6)(x-1). So I have (3x-6

: Ok, I have to simplify the following expression, (3x^2-9x+6)/(10-5x). For the first expression I got 3x^2-3x-6x+6 which I broke down to
3x(x-1)-6(x-1)=(3x-6)(x-1). So I have (3x-6)(x-1)/(10-5x). Ok can this be further simplified? I got stuck here.
