For x ≠ 0, which expression is equivalent to 6x²/(2x)?
- A. 3xCorrect
- B. 4x
- C. 3x²
- D. 3
Answer: A. 3x
Divide the coefficients: 6/2 = 3. Divide the powers: x²/x = x. Result: 3x.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. 4x
- 4x subtracts the coefficients (6 − 2) instead of dividing them.
- C. 3x²
- 3x² forgets to divide x² by x.
- D. 3
- 3 divides the coefficients but drops the x entirely; x²/x = x, not 1.
