Need help multiplying rational expression!
I need help solving this: \[\frac{ 7a + 28}{ a -4 } \times \frac{ 14a }{ a^{2} + a - 12 } \] This is what I have simplified it to: \[ \frac{ 7(a+4) }{ a - 4 } \times \frac{ (a-3)(a+4)}{ (7a + 7) }\] I'm not sure if that is right, but I don't think it can be because I'm not sure I could cross anything out and none of my answers look like what I have now.
i don't think it is right
its not right
\(14a\neq (a-3)(a+4)\)
Actually, I think I might have put my fraction upside down. It's supossed to be (7a + 7) over (a - 3)(a + 4)
can you post the original problem exactly?
i am going to make a guess that it is \[\frac{ 7a + 28}{ a -4 } \div \frac{ 14a }{ a^{2} + a - 12 }\]
Yes, that was it. I switched it around to multiply it.
The 14a was on the bottom though
ok then i am stuck until you post the original problem exactly then we can do it
division sign and all
