The numerator 18x2 can be factored as 18⋅x⋅x and the denominator 60x can be factored as 60⋅x.
Step 3: Cancel Common Factors
We can cancel the common factor of x from the numerator and denominator, leading to:
6018x
Step 4: Simplify the Coefficients
Next, we simplify the coefficients 6018. The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 18 and 60 is 6, so we divide both the numerator and the denominator by 6:
60÷618÷6=103
Step 5: Write the Final Simplified Expression
After simplification, we combine the results to obtain the final expression:
103x
