PLZ HELP SIMPLIFYING!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Simplify the quantity x plus 6 over 12, all over the quantity x minus 8 over 10

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf \cfrac{\frac{x+6}{12}}{\frac{x-8}{10}}\qquad recall\implies {\color{blue}{ \cfrac{\quad \frac{a}{b}\quad }{\frac{c}{d}}\implies \cfrac{a}{b}\cdot \cfrac{d}{c}}}\\ \quad \\ \cfrac{\frac{x+6}{12}}{\frac{x-8}{10}}\implies \cfrac{x+6}{12}\cdot \cfrac{10}{x-8}\)

ok, do you now divide by 2?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yeap

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

and that's as much as you can simplify it

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf \cfrac{x+6}{12}\cdot \cfrac{10}{x-8}\implies \cfrac{x+6}{\cancel{2}\cdot 6}\cdot \cfrac{\cancel{2}\cdot 5}{x-8}\)
