Simplify (48x-6+3y)/3

$\frac{48 x - 6 + 3 y}{3}$

Step 1

Cancel the common factor of $48 x - 6 + 3 y$ and $3$ .

Factor $3$ out of $48 x$ .

$\frac{3 (16 x) - 6 + 3 y}{3}$

Factor $3$ out of $- 6$ .

$\frac{3 (16 x) + 3 \cdot - 2 + 3 y}{3}$

Factor $3$ out of $3 (16 x) + 3 (- 2)$ .

$\frac{3 (16 x - 2) + 3 y}{3}$

Factor $3$ out of $3 y$ .

$\frac{3 (16 x - 2) + 3 (y)}{3}$

Factor $3$ out of $3 (16 x - 2) + 3 (y)$ .

$\frac{3 (16 x - 2 + y)}{3}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $3$ out of $3$ .

$\frac{3 (16 x - 2 + y)}{3 (1)}$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 (16 x - 2 + y)}{3 \cdot 1}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{16 x - 2 + y}{1}$

Divide $16 x - 2 + y$ by $1$ .

$16 x - 2 + y$

Step 2

Move $- 2$ .

$16 x + y - 2$
