Perform the operation and simplify completely:
(5) divided by (x-1) mmultiplied by (1-x) divided by 25(x-2)
--------------
[5/(x-1)]
---------
Note: (1-x) = -(x-1)
Make that change and you get:
[5/(x-1)] * [-(x-1)/(25(x-2)]
-------------
Cancel the 5 factor and cancel the (x-1) factor to get:
= -1 / [5(x-2)]
================
