We want to simplify the given rational expression. To do so, we will factor the numerator as much as possible. Then, we will cancel out any common factors.
We simplified the given expression.
To state any excluded values, we will check the original expression to see which values of x make the denominator 0. The denominator of the original expression is x+2.
x+2=0 ⇔ x=-2
The denominator of the original expression is 0 when x=-2. Therefore, the simplified form is 6x-12 where x ≠-2.
