A. 3m/16, m =/ 0
B. 3m/16, m =/ 0 and x =/ -4
C. m(x+3)/8, m =/ 0
D. m(x+3)/8, m =/ 0 and x =/-4
Can you help work it out with me?

Answer 1

sure what do you think you should do first

Answer 2

\[\frac{3x+12}{8m}*\frac{m^2}{2x+8}\]

Answer 3

cross multiply?

Answer 4

i'm sorry i forgot about you haha, how about we factor first ... what can you pull out of the x functions?

Answer 5

lets say f(x)=3x+12 and g(x)=2x+8

the both have a Common factor

Answer 6

f(x)=?(x+4) g(x)=?(x+4)

Answer 7

Okay

Answer 8
