Question

Multiply or divide.5x+10/x+2•2x/4x-10

Answer 1

both

Answer 2

also, add some brackets so the q's a bit clearer
ie is it:
(5x+10)/(x+2)•(2x)/(4x-10)
or
5x+(10/x+2)•(2x/4x) -10

Answer 3

is makes a difference to the final answer

Answer 4

sorry, different problem, back

Answer 5

so: (5x+10)/(x+2) times (2x/(4x-10) yeah?

Answer 6

so when multiplying fractions, times numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator
so top x top = (5x+10) times 2x = (5x +10)(2x)

Answer 7

botom times bottom = (x+2) times (4x-10)
=(x +2)(4x-10)

Answer 8

so your long answer is :
(5x +10)(2x) / (x +2)(4x-10)

but you can further simplify this:

Answer 9

(5x +10)(2x) becomes 10x^2 +20x
(x+2)(4x+10) becomes 4x^2 + 18x +20

Answer 10

now, you can take 2 out of top and bottom, so it becomes:
2(5x^2 +10x) / 2(2x^2 + 9x +10)

Answer 11

= (5x^2 +10x) /(2x^2 + 9x +10)

Answer 12

thats about it

Answer 13

That's the final answer right?

Answer 14

yeah i cant see a way to reduce any further
