| ① | Simplify $ \dfrac{6a^2+5a-6}{3a^2-5a+2} $ to $ \dfrac{2a+3}{a-1} $. Factor both the denominator and the numerator, then cancel the common factor. $\color{blue}{3a-2}$. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{6a^2+5a-6}{3a^2-5a+2} & =\frac{ \left( 2a+3 \right) \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( 3a-2 \right) }}{ \left( a-1 \right) \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( 3a-2 \right) }} = \\[1ex] &= \frac{2a+3}{a-1} \end{aligned} $$ |
