Reduce the following rational expression to lowest terms, if possible.
c^2-6c+9/c-3
i got c+2-3
but its not correct, can you please explain how to do this.
c^2-6c+9/c-3

-
(c^2-6c+9) / (c-3)
= (c-3)(c-3) / (c-3) /// factorise numerator
= c-3 ///// cancel the same factors
= (c-3)(c-3) / (c-3) /// factorise numerator
= c-3 ///// cancel the same factors
