Question 597907: Will you help me simply the expression: x^2+4x+4/x-2 * -(x-2)/3x+6
Answer by stanbon(75887)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! simply the expression: [x^2+4x+4/x-2] * [-(x-2)/3x+6]
---------
Factor:
[(x+2)^2/(x-2)] * [-(x-2)/(3(x+2)]
------
Cancel any factor common to a numerator and a denominator,
such as (x+2), (x-2), to get:
(x+2)/1
----
= (-1/3)(x+2)
