Question 900897

Hi,

I am so lost on this problem I don't know how to do this problem please help!


which of the following is 2(x+4)(x+3)/10(x-3)(x+4)

a.2(x+3)/5(x-3)
b.cannot be simplifed
c.(x+3)/5(x-3)
d.1/5
<pre>
{{{(2(x + 4)(x + 3))/(10(x - 3)(x + 4))}}}
{{{(cross(2)(x + 4)(x + 3))/(5cross(10)(x - 3)(x + 4))}}} ------ Canceling 2 in numerator and 10 in denominator with GCF, 2
{{{((x + 4)(x + 3))/(5(x - 3)(x + 4))}}}
{{{(cross((x + 4))(x + 3))/(5(x - 3)cross((x + 4)))}}} -------- Canceling x + 4 in numerator and denominator
{{{highlight_green((x + 3)/5(x - 3))}}} CHOICE c.
