Question 268861: I couldn't find a category for rational expressions but this one seemed closest.

10 - 2x / 4x^2 - 20x
I factored 2 from the numerator and 4 from the denominator
2%28x+-+5%29%2F4%28x+%2B+5%29
Then I canceled out the fives.
-2%2F4x
reduces to
-1%2F2x
Something is not right down towards the end of the problem but I can't figure it out. Please help, thanks!

10 - 2x / 4x^2 - 20x
=2(5-x)/4x(x-5)
=-2(x-5)/4x(x-5)
=-1/2x
