| ① | Simplify $ \dfrac{2x^2+11x-6}{x+6} $ to $ 2x-1$. Factor both the denominator and the numerator, then cancel the common factor. $\color{blue}{x+6}$. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{2x^2+11x-6}{x+6} & =\frac{ \left( 2x-1 \right) \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( x+6 \right) }}{ 1 \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( x+6 \right) }} = \\[1ex] &= \frac{2x-1}{1} =2x-1 \end{aligned} $$ |
