4x^3+7x-2x/2x^2-162* 12x-60/4x^2+15x-4* x^2+9x/x^2-3x-10
Thanks for the help! Answer by KMST(5328) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I believe you meant something like: =((4x^3+7x-2x)/(2x^2-162))*((12x-60)/(4x^2+15x-4))*((x^2+9x)/(x^2-3x-10))
A whole bunch of parentheses are needed if you cannot write a horizontal fraction bar. (Those wonderful fraction bars come with invisible sets of brackets enclosing numerator and denominator).
I also believe you lost an exponent 2, so I'll put it back, and I'll multiply all those fractions into one, as we do with numbers:
Next comes a lot of factoring =,
followed by cancelling out factors that appear on both sides of the fraction bar
=
