Question 677631: Can you help me how can I simplify completely (x^2 + 2x - xy - 2y) / (x^2 - xy + 5x - 5y)
Answer by stanbon(75887)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! simplify completely (x^2 + 2x - xy - 2y) / (x^2 - xy + 5x - 5y)
----
Note: Often,when you are given a problem with 4 terms, the
problem factors by grouping.
-----------
Your Problem:
[x(x+2)-y(x+2)]/ [x(x-y)+5(x-y)]
------------
[(x+2)(x-y)]/[(x-y)(x+5)]
-----
= (x+2)/(x+5)
