Question 8212
Simplify:

{{{(2x^2 + x - 6)/(2x + 4)}}}  Factor the numerator and the denominator.

{{{((2x - 3)(x + 2))/2(x + 2)}}} Cancel the common factor (x+2) in the top and bottom.

{{{(2x - 3)/2}}} This is it! But you could go one step further.

{{{2(x - 1.5)/2}}} Cancel the 2's

{{{x - 1.5}}} This is really it!
