Simplify completely quantity 2 x squared plus 16 x plus 30 all over quantity 5 x squared plus 13 x minus 6
so in order to do this one oyu have to know what all those words mean
"quantity" means open parentheses.. i usually close them at the end of the sentence or just before the next 'quantity" "all over" means everything before it is divided by what come after
its just 2x^2 + 13x + 20 OVER x^2 - 5x - 36
oh ok
and idk how to simplify it
You've written two different things... Is it this? (2x^2 + 13x + 20) / (x^2 - 5x - 36) or this? (2x^2 + 16x + 30) / (5x^2 + 13x + 6)
the first one
(2x + 5) ( x + 4) / (x+4) (x-9)
im not exactly sure the method to use...
i kinda just guessed and checked...
since it said simply i had an idea that it would factor
and that two of them would be the same
from there the (x+4) s cancel and your your left with (2x+5)/(x-9)
