Consider the division of 3b2 + 9b + 4 by 3b. = b + X + What is the value of X?

Answer:
The value of x is 3
Step-by-step explanation:
3b^2 +9b + 4 divide by 3b
[tex]\frac{3b^2 +9b + 4}{3b}[/tex]
Divide each term by 3b
[tex]\frac{3b^2}{3b} + \frac{9b}{3b} +\frac{4}{3b}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3b^2}{3b} = b[/tex]
[tex]\frac{9b}{3b} =3[/tex] (b gets cancelled, 9/3=3)
x is the middle term.
The value of x is 3
