make factors of 1.x^2+8x+15 2. x^2-16 take common 2 out of 2x+6 then cancel if you can.

OpenStudy (phebe):

ok so what do i cancel out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first make factors then you will come to know.

OpenStudy (phebe):

ok

OpenStudy (phebe):

do i make the 2 a negative2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no,make factors of\[x^2+8x+15\]

OpenStudy (phebe):

ok

OpenStudy (phebe):

wouldn't that be 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^2+8x+15=x^2+5x+3x+15=x \left( ? \right)+3\left( ? \right) \]

OpenStudy (phebe):

ok what do i plug in at the ?? marks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think you don't know ,how to make factors?

OpenStudy (phebe):

yes i do

OpenStudy (phebe):

ain't it 3

OpenStudy (phebe):

can u tell me the answer thoe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^2+5 x+3 x+15=x \left( x+5 \right)+3\left( x+5 \right)=\left( x+5 \right)\left( x+3 \right)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^2-16=x^2-4^2=\left( x+4 \right)\left( x-4 \right)\]

OpenStudy (phebe):

ok hold on let me check the answer choices k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x+6=2(x+3)

OpenStudy (phebe):

is that the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now write down these factors and see which of these you can cancel.

OpenStudy (phebe):

ok

OpenStudy (phebe):

the x and 3

OpenStudy (phebe):

@surjithayer

OpenStudy (phebe):

im going to come back to this question k jus tag my name after u post ur comment k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ x^2+8x+15 }{ x-4 }\times \frac{ x^2-16 }{ 2x+6 }=\frac{ \left( x+5 \right) \left( x+3 \right)}{ x-4 } \times\frac{ \left( x+4 \right) \left( x-4 \right)}{ 2\left( x+3 \right) }\] \[=\frac{ \left( x+5 \right) \left( x+4 \right)}{ 2 }=\frac{ x^2+5x+4x+20 }{ 2 }=?\]

OpenStudy (phebe):

well thanx for ur help but i got the answer now
