Question

(5x+10)/(x+2)*(2x)/(4x-10)
I get as far as:
5(x+2)(2x)/(x+2)2(2x-5)
then I get stuck

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 5x+10 }{x+2} * \frac{ 2x }{ 4x-10 }\]
its this equation correct?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

okay so from the step that you got to, the (x+2) and 2 cancel. that leaves you with \[ \frac{5x }{ 2x-5 }\] are you supposed to solve for x or just simplify?

Answer 4

Doesn't specify. So if x can't be solved for, i suppose just simplify.

Answer 5

and thanks :)
