Question 674265: (6t+8t-4)/(2t)
I am not sure how to simplify this.
I've tried taking 2 out, but there is more that can be done.
I guess I should be trying to take the variable out of the denominator entirely, but I can't see how. Can someone help with explaination please?

The variable in the denominator CANNOT be taken out, entirely.

%286t+%2B+8t+-+4%29%2F2t

%2814t+-+4%29%2F2t

2%287t+-+2%29%2F2t ------ Factoring numerator

cross%282%29%287t+-+2%29%2Fcross%282%29t

highlight_green%28%287t+-+2%29%2Ft%29, or highlight_green%287+-+2%2Ft%29
