<p>Simplify \(\dfrac{3x+6}{6x+12}\)</p>

<h4 class="HELM_solution">Solution</h4>
<p>First we factorise the numerator and the denominator to see if there are any common factors.</p>
<p>\(\qquad \dfrac{3x+6}{6x+12} = \dfrac{3(x+2)}{6(x+2)} = \dfrac{3}{6} = \dfrac{1}{2}\)</p>
<p>The factors \(x + 2\) and 3 have been cancelled.</p>]]></text>
