Question

Multiply

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 5x + 10 }{ x+2 } , \frac{ 2x }{ 4x-10 }\]

Answer 2

Can you reduce this fraction??

\[\frac{2x}{4x - 10}\]

Factor out 2 in denominator first and cancel whatever is being cancelled..

Answer 3

\[\frac{ 1x }{ 2x-5 }\] ?

Answer 4

Yeah right..

Similarly do it for first fraction:
\[\frac{ 5x + 10 }{ x+2 }\]

Factor out 5 and cancel..

Answer 5

\[\frac{ 1x + 2 }{ x+2 }\] ... I think I messed up because well idk but it doesn't look right

Answer 6

See it goes like this:

\[\frac{ 5x + 10 }{ x+2 } \implies \frac{5(x + 2)}{(x + 2)} \implies \frac{5 \cancel{(x + 2)}}{\cancel{(x + 2)}} \implies 5\]

Getting??

Answer 7

So now multiply the two fractions:

\[\implies 5 \times \frac{x}{2x - 5} = ??\]

Answer 8

Am I supposed to factor that too or do I distribute 4 into x, 2x, and -5 ?

Answer 9

or do I make 5 into 1/5

Answer 10

Distribute 4??

Answer 11

I meant 5 lol sorry

Answer 12

See if there is only 5 in the numerator then it means there is 1 in denominator :

\[5 \implies \frac{5}{1}\]

Answer 13

then it would be \[\frac{ 5x }{ 2x-5 } ?\]
