The first step when dividing 9m2−4m−6 by 3m is shown. the fraction with numerator 9 m squared and denominator 3 m minus 4 m over 3 m minus 6 over 3 m Which could be the next step?
Answer
A
3 m minus 4 thirds minus m over 2
B
3 m minus 3 fourths minus 2 over m
C
3 m minus 4 thirds minus 2 over m
D
3 m minus 3 fourths minus m over 2
Explanation
Divide each term by 3m: 9m² ÷ 3m = 3m, −4m ÷ 3m = −4/3, and −6 ÷ 3m = −2/m. So the next step is 3m − 4/3 − 2/m, choice C.
