| ① | Simplify $ \dfrac{10q^2+7q}{10q+7} $ to $ q$. Factor both the denominator and the numerator, then cancel the common factor. $\color{blue}{10q+7}$. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{10q^2+7q}{10q+7} & =\frac{ q \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( 10q+7 \right) }}{ 1 \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( 10q+7 \right) }} = \\[1ex] &= \frac{q}{1} =q \end{aligned} $$ |
