Question 137481: When doing multiplication rational expressions and you have reduced as far as possible, and you are doing the canceling part, can you cancel the (x-7) in this problem even though they are on different sides?
3(x-7)/x+2 X x+4/4(x-7)
If you can I know what to do from there, but if not I am stuck, here is the orginial problem...
3(x-7)/(x+2)(2x-1) X 4x^2+6x-4/4x-28

You can put this solution on YOUR website! When doing multiplication rational expressions and you have reduced as far as possible, and you are doing the canceling part, can you cancel the (x-7) in this problem even though they are on different sides?
[3(x-7)/x+2] X [x+4/4(x-7)]
-----------
Yes because one factor is in the numerator and the other is in the denominator.
