Question

Simplify each rational expression. Assume that no variable has a value that results in a denominator with a value of zero. 

The expression is a mathematical fraction. 

**Problem 43:**

\[
\frac{3z^2 + 6z}{3z}
\]

**Explanation:**

This expression represents a rational function where the numerator is \(3z^2 + 6z\) and the denominator is \(3z\). The goal is often to simplify the fraction by factoring the numerator and canceling common terms, if possible. 

To simplify:

1. Factor the numerator: \(3z^2 + 6z = 3z(z + 2)\).

2. Cancel the common factor of \(3z\) in the numerator and the denominator:

   \[
   \frac{3z(z + 2)}{3z} = z + 2
   \]

Thus, the simplified form of the expression is \(z + 2\).
