Rational Expressions — Easy Worksheet 1
Grade 11 · MathSheets Name: ____________________ Date: __________
Simplify each expression to lowest terms.
How to solve
Find the greatest common factor of the numerator coefficient and the denominator, and divide both by it. If the denominator becomes 1, write just the x term; otherwise write the answer as a fraction like 5x3.
Example
Simplify: 4x6
Answer: 2x3
