Flashcard 3 - Upper Level: Quantitative Reasoning Flashcard Set for the ISEE

First, factor the numerator using the reverse FOIL method.
Next, see if any of the factors cancel out with the denominator.
What remains is the simplified expression.

The numerator can be factored as \((3x – 4)(x – 1)\).
One of the factors cancels out with \(x – 1\) in the denominator.
This leaves \(3x – 4\), the simplified expression.
