Question

hi! i need some help with math right now. i need to figure out how to simplify and add these two fractions together...
(2x)/(x+2)*(3x+6)/(x^2)
thanks!

Answer 1

time both fractions to yield
(6x^2+12x)/[x^2(x+2)].

then, factorise nominator to get [6x(x+2)]/[x^2(x+2)]
then u can cancel out x(x+2)

Answer 2

alright, thank you so much! also, are you supposed to always switch the numerator and the denominator around when you multiply?
