SOLUTION: I need some help simplyfing this: Until now this is what i have for 2x^2 + X - 6 / 2x + 4 (2X - 3)*(x + 2) / 2(X + 2) = 2X

SOLUTION: I need some help simplyfing this: Until now this is what i have for 2x^2 + X - 6 / 2x + 4 (2X - 3)*(x + 2) / 2(X + 2) = 2X - 3 / 2 X is not equal to 3/2

Question 31037: I need some help simplyfing this:
Until now this is what i have for 2x^2 + X - 6 / 2x + 4
(2X - 3)*(x + 2) / 2(X + 2) = 2X - 3 / 2 X is not equal to 3/2
X is not equal to 2
Is this right?

Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Simplify:
Factor the numerator and the denominator, as you have done.
Cancel the common factors (x+2)
Which is the answer that you got!
The restrictions that you have placed on the variable x don't seem to be correct.
If you look at the original expression, you will see that only when x = -2 will the denominator become zero. So the restriction on x ought to be x cannot = -2.
Does this make sense?
