Question 72841: Divide: %28x%5E2%2B2x-15%29%2F%284x%5E2%29/ %28x%5E2-25%29%2F%282x-10%29
I got to this point and got stuck and need some help.
%28x-3%29%2F8x%5E2%28x-5%29%5E2
The options for this question is:
a)2x^2/x-3
b) 2x^2/x+3
c)x-3/2x^2
d)x+3/2x^2
I think I did not simplify enough, but I do not see how the answer I ended up with could be simplified any further. Please help. Thanks.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(X^2+2X-15)/(4X^2)*(2X-10)/(X^2-25)
(X+5)(X-3)/(4X^2)*2(X-5)/(X-5)(X+5) CANCEL OUT THE (X-5)s & THE (X+5)s
(X-3)/(4X^2)*2
2(X-3)/4X^2 NOW DIVIDE BY 2 (NUM. & DEN.)
(X-3)/2X^2 ANSWER C)
