Question 69235: Could someone please help me multiply and then reduce
x^2+x-6/2x * 2x^2-4x/x^2+7x+12
Thanks so much for your help in advance
Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
[(x^2+x-6)/2x] * [(2x^2-4x)/(x^2+7x+12)]
Factor where possible, as follows:
= [(x+3)(x-2)/2x] * [2x(x-2)/(x+4)(x+3)]
Cancel the common factors of 2x and x+3:
=(x-2)^2/(x+4)
