A) $\frac { x + 3 } { x - 4 }$
B) $\frac { x - 3 } { x - 4 }$
C) $\frac { 3 x + 3 } { x - 4 }$
D) $\frac { 3 x - 3 } { x - 4 }$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the denominators are the same, you can combine the numerators: $2x - (x + 3) = 2x - x - 3 = x - 3$. Thus, the simplified form is $\frac{x - 3}{x - 4}$.
