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.

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

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

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)

is that the answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now write down these factors and see which of these you can cancel.
OpenStudy (phebe):
ok
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
