           Now it is apparent the numerator and denominator have a common factor of x+10:


           Therefore our final answer is


                                                             頠

           We will now show two other ways to handle this problem. Before going on, note that doing a problem
           multiple ways is a good means of checking your work; if our answer later on were not to agree with the
           answer we just got, that means we made a mistake somewhere.

                             1. FIND THE IRREDUCIBLE FORM OF NUMERATOR AND DENOMINATOR BY
                                FACTORISATION
                             2. FIND THE COMMON TERM IN NUMERATOR AND DENOMINATOR
                             3. CANCEL THAT TERMS AND WRITE THE ANSWER







           Example :Solve for (4x – 100) ÷ 6(x + 5)
                                2
           Solution:
