State

The canceled-term error strikes matching terms across a fraction bar; only factors cancel, and (x + 3)/3 is not x + 1.

Show

At x = 3: (3 + 3)/3 is 2, while x + 1 gives 4. The canceled 3 was a term, not a factor.

Builds on

  • Nothing — this is a starting point.

Unlocks

  • Nothing yet depends on this.
