I need quick help with this Algebra fraction problem! Simplify completely. I could never figure out how to multiply three fractions together. (see image attached)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wow. This is going to take a while. I'll be back in a second.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you @ScarlettBlack :D:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure thing. If I can't help I'll try to recommend someone who can.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't want to give you the direct answer but I can tell you that in its simplified for the answer is very short.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first two are multiplied and the third is divided so you can just multiply the first two and then divide that answer by the third fraction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ColePatrick does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ScarlettBlack Yeah. I'm multiplying the first two now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's a bit more difficult to divide the two fractions. Let me know if you need any other help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Unfortunately I have to log off now but I will be back as soon as possible.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just mention my username and I'll get it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thanks :D So I have 4/5x(x-5) / 28/x^2-25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ScarlettBlack

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let me multiply by the reciprocal and see what that gives me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ScarlettBlack Lol that didn't work xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha. Ok so the 4/5x (x-5) is correct. Then you just have to divide that by 28/x^2-25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You should get x+5 / 35x I have to go now but if you need anything else just message me ok?
