Advanced Math practice question
For x ≠ 0, which expression is equivalent to (2x² + 6x)/(2x)?
- A. x + 3Correct
- B. x + 6
- C. 2x + 3
- D. x² + 3
Answer: A. x + 3
Divide each term by 2x: 2x²/(2x) = x and 6x/(2x) = 3.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. x + 6
- 6x divided by 2x is 3, not 6.
- C. 2x + 3
- 2x² divided by 2x is x, not 2x.
- D. x² + 3
- 2x² divided by 2x is x, not x².
