| ① | Simplify $ \dfrac{3m^2-25m+42}{6-m} $ to $ \dfrac{3m-7}{-1} $. Factor both the denominator and the numerator, then cancel the common factor. $\color{blue}{m-6}$. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{3m^2-25m+42}{6-m} & =\frac{ \left( 3m-7 \right) \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( m-6 \right) }}{ \left( -1 \right) \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( m-6 \right) }} = \\[1ex] &= \frac{3m-7}{-1} \end{aligned} $$ |
