Answer

$2c + 3$ Restriction: $c \ne 0$

Work Step by Step

Let's first take a look at the problem to see what we can cancel out from the numerator and denominator: $\dfrac{6c^2 + 9c}{3c}$ We can factor out $3c$ from the numerator: $\dfrac{3c(2c + 3)}{3c}$ We can divide the numerator and denominator by $3c$: $2c + 3$ To find out if there are any restrictions on the variables, we need to find which values of $c$ will cause the denominator to equal zero, which would make the whole expression undefined. Let's set the denominator equal to zero and solve for $c$: $3c = 0$ Divide each side by $3$: $c = 0$ Restriction: $c \ne 0$
