Question 152260


{{{(4x-12)/(4x)}}} Start with the given expression.



{{{(4(x-3))/(4x)}}} Factor {{{4x-12}}} to get {{{4(x-3)}}}.



{{{(highlight(4)(x-3))/(highlight(4)x)}}} Highlight the common terms. 



{{{(cross(4)(x-3))/(cross(4)x)}}} Cancel out the common terms. 



{{{(x-3)/(x)}}} Simplify. 



So {{{(4x-12)/(4x)}}} simplifies to {{{(x-3)/(x)}}}.



In other words, {{{(4x-12)/(4x)=(x-3)/(x)}}} where {{{x<>0}}}
