Divide (3x+9)/(3x)

$\frac{3 x + 9}{3 x}$

Step 1

Cancel the common factor of $3 x + 9$ and $3$ .

Factor $3$ out of $3 x$ .

$\frac{3 (x) + 9}{3 x}$

Factor $3$ out of $9$ .

$\frac{3 (x) + 3 \cdot 3}{3 x}$

Factor $3$ out of $3 (x) + 3 (3)$ .

$\frac{3 (x + 3)}{3 x}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $3$ out of $3 x$ .

$\frac{3 (x + 3)}{3 (x)}$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 (x + 3)}{3 x}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{x + 3}{x}$

Step 2

Split the fraction $\frac{x + 3}{x}$ into two fractions.

$\frac{x}{x} + \frac{3}{x}$

Step 3

Cancel the common factor of $x$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{x}{x} + \frac{3}{x}$

Rewrite the expression.

$1 + \frac{3}{x}$
