Alexandra [31]
Answer: The average rate of change = -1
Step-by-step explanation: Please find the attached file for the solution
For this case we have the following expression:

From here, we must clear the value of a.
We then have the following steps:
Place the terms that depend on a on the same side of the equation:

Do common factor "a":

Clear the value of "a" by dividing the factor within the parenthesis:

Answer:
The clear expression for "a" is given by:

In this question , we have to simplify the given ratio, which is
12xy:3x
First we have to see which factor is common in numerator and denominator,
We can write 12 as 3 times 4, that is

So the common factor is 3x.
In the next step, we cancel out 3x

And that's the required simplified form .
