@silkyone,

Is that supposed to be:

(4x^2 - 8x + 6) / (2x - 1)

@silkyone,

On the numerator find a common factor (4xsqrt-8x+6). What factor is common between 4, 8 & 6?

@fresco,

....it would make more sense if it read
(4x^2 - 8x + 3) / (2x - 1) giving an answer of (2x -3) by long division.

@fresco,

(4x^2-8x+6)/(2x-1)=2(2x^2-4x+3)/(2x-1)=2(2x-1)(x-3)/(2x-1)=2(x-3)
