Question

How do u simplify 6x+3y over 2x+3y ?

Answer 1

3x +y

Answer 2

OK you have to simplify so you have, 6x+3y over 2x+3y =3x+y over x +y=  3

                                                      

Answer 3

6x divided by 2x is 3, 3y divided by 3y is 1, 3x+y.

Answer 4

you go to yahoo answers

Answer 5

Well dont separate the denominator like alot of these answerers suggest. :)

It can't be simplified, but you can break up the fraction:

4x

_____  + 1  

2x+3y

Maybe it's slightly more elegant that way? I won't be the judge.

Answer 6

well

6x+3y

-------

2x + 3y

divide each separately

so

6x divided by 2x would be 3

and 3y divided by 37 would be 1

so the answer is 3+1

here's the check

2x + 3y times 3+1 is 6x + 3y

this is 100% correct

Answer 7

You can't simply divide each variable separately!  Whatever answer you get, you should test it with possible numbers...

(6x + 3y) / (2x + 3y)

You can do

6x/(2x + 3y) + 3y(2x + 3y)

but that's about it.

Other answers are saying

3x + 1

But, check if x = 2 and y = 3

6*2 + 3*3 = 12 + 9 = 21

2*2 + 3*3 = 4 + 9 = 12

The original equation results in 21/12 or 7/4

3*2 + 1 = 7

As you can see, this is an invalid solution.

You can't simplify the expression any further than when you started.

Answer 8

i think 6x divided by 2x is 3x, and 3y divided by 3y is one, so it becomes 3x+y.

Answer 9

it can not be simplified.

Answer 10

Can't be simplified other than factoring out 3 in the numerator or separating the fraction.

3(2x + y)

-------------------

(2x+3y)

Separating : (6x)/(2x+3y) + (3y) / (2x+3y)

Good luck to you !

Answer 11

I believe the 3y's cancel out eachother and equal 1y, or y.  Then you just have 6x over 2x, which equals 3x + y.
