Question 309526: Multiply the rational expression.
%283x%2B2%29%2F%28x%5E2%2B2x%2B1%29*%28x%5E3-x%29%2F%283x%5E2%2B2x%29

%283x%2B2%29%2F%28x%5E2%2B2x%2B1%29*(x^3-x)/(3x^2+2x)
================
Factor where you can:
(3x+2)/(x+1)^2 * (x(x-1)(x+1))/(x(3x+2))
----------------------------------------
Cancel where you can such as x, x+1, 3x+2
--------------------------
1/(x+1) * (x-1)/1
----
= (x-1)/(x+1)
