(24a^2+ 8ab)/(4a + 16ab)
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{24 {a}^{2} + 8 a b}{4 a + 16 a b}\)
MathBot Answer:
Evaluated
\(\displaystyle \frac{24 {a}^{2} + 8 a b}{4 a + 16 a b} = \frac{24 a^{2} + 8 a b}{16 a b + 4 a} \)
Expanded
\[\frac{24 {a}^{2} + 8 a b}{4 a + 16 a b} = \frac{24 a^{2}}{16 a b + 4 a} + \frac{8 a b}{16 a b + 4 a}\]
Factored
\[\frac{24 {a}^{2} + 8 a b}{4 a + 16 a b} = \frac{2 \cdot \left(3 a + b\right)}{4 b + 1}\]
