Question 51085: I have been away from school the past few days because i was sick, and i am really not understanding these questions. i am also not sure if this is the right section to be asking this question in, but nothing else seemed to fit
(x^2-64)/(5x) * (10x^2)/(x+8)
1. what i thought to do is factor the denomanator so it would be (x+8)(x-8)/(5x) * (10x^2)/(x+8) then the two x + 8's cancel out....once u have the final answer as (x-8)/(5x) * (10x^2)/1---do u just multiply?? and how do u multiply??

Well, it looks like you haven't lost your touch.
Your initial step was quite correct. I am assuming that the task is to simplify the given expression.
You correctly factored the numerator of the first fraction.
and you also correctly cancelled the (x+8)'s
At this point, you can cancel 5x's in the denominator and from the in the numerator.
Finally, you can multiply these two factors.
