________________________________________________
Given: (3x - 6) / (x-2) ;
___________________________
Factor the numerator into: 3(x-2).
________________________________
Now, rewrite the expression as:
____________________________
[tex] \frac{3(x-2)}{(x-2)} [/tex] ;
________________________________________
The "(x - 2)" values cancel to "1" ; since "(x - 2) ÷ (x - 2) = 1" ;
