| ① | Simplify $ \dfrac{9x^2+55x+6}{x+6} $ to $ 9x+1$. Factor both the denominator and the numerator, then cancel the common factor. $\color{blue}{x+6}$. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{9x^2+55x+6}{x+6} & =\frac{ \left( 9x+1 \right) \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( x+6 \right) }}{ 1 \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( x+6 \right) }} = \\[1ex] &= \frac{9x+1}{1} =9x+1 \end{aligned} $$ |
