| ① | Simplify $ \dfrac{9r^3+42r^2+49r}{3r+7} $ to $ 3r^2+7r$. Factor both the denominator and the numerator, then cancel the common factor. $\color{blue}{3r+7}$. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{9r^3+42r^2+49r}{3r+7} & =\frac{ \left( 3r^2+7r \right) \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( 3r+7 \right) }}{ 1 \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( 3r+7 \right) }} = \\[1ex] &= \frac{3r^2+7r}{1} =3r^2+7r \end{aligned} $$ |
