Question 427812
"Simplify each expression"
{{{( x^2 + 4x - 5)/18}}}
-----------
{{{(x^2 - x)/6 }}}
Remember the rule for dividing fractions,"invert the dividing fraction and multiply"
{{{( x^2 + 4x - 5)/18}}} * {{{6/(x^2-x)}}}
Factor
{{{((x+5)(x-1))/18}}} * {{{(6/x(x-1)))}}}
:
See what you can cancel here, (x-1) and 6 into 18, resulting in:
{{{((x+5))/3}}} * {{{1/x)}}} = {{{((x+5))/(3x)}}}, is the simplified expression
