can (8b^2+10b)/(12b^2+15b) simplified?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 8b^2 + 10b }{ 12b^2 + 15b }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take out a 2b right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15/2b doesn't turn out good....take out 2b on the top so it looks like 2b(4b + 5) and take out b on the bottom to look like?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i get 2b(4b+5)/b(12b+15) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

very good job :]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can still simplify that no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 2b(4b + 5) }{ b(12b + 15) }\] that's it
