① | Factor both the denominator and the numerator, then cancel the common factor. $\color{blue}{n+8}$. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{9n+72}{3n^2+25n+8} & =\frac{ 9 \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( n+8 \right) }}{ \left( 3n+1 \right) \cdot \color{blue}{ \left( n+8 \right) }} = \\[1ex] &= \frac{9}{3n+1} \end{aligned} $$ |
