Question

Simplify...
(x^2-x-30)/(x^2+13x+40)*(x^2+11x+24)/(x^2-9x+18)
(The division symbols show fractions.)

Answer 1

\[\frac{x^2-x-30}{x^2+13x+40}\cdot\frac{x^2+11x+24}{x^2-9x+18}\]
Factor:
\[\frac{(x-6)(x+5)}{(x+8)(x+5)}\cdot\frac{(x+8)(x+3)}{(x-6)(x-3)}\]
Cancel out any terms that can be cancelled.

Answer 2

(x+3)/(x-3)?

Answer 3

yes
