    1) Yes, with those sides, this can be a right triangle. a^2 + b^2 = c^2

    12^2 + 9^2 = 15^2

    144 + 81 = 225

    225 = 225

    2) (x + 5x) / 3

    = 6x / 3

    = 2x

    3) 5m + 15 / (m + 3)

    = 5(m + 3) / (m + 3)

    = 5

    4) (4x^2 + 2x - 3) + (2x^2 + x - 1)

    = 6x^2 - 3x - 4
