Advanced Math practice question

For x ≠ 0, which expression is equivalent to (2x² + 6x)/(2x)?

  1. A. x + 3Correct
  2. B. x + 6
  3. C. 2x + 3
  4. 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.
