## Sette Group Title what is the product of (3x^2/x+2)/(5x^2-20/30x^3) ? simplify completely. Algebra 1 Honors. 2 years ago 2 years ago

1. moneybird Group Title

$\frac{3x^2}{x+2} * \frac{5x^2-20}{30x^3}$

2. moneybird Group Title

right?

3. Sette Group Title

yes thats the equation.

4. moneybird Group Title

5x^2 - 20 can be factored as 5(x^2-4) = 5(x+2)(x-2)

7. moneybird Group Title

(x+2) can be cancelled out and 3x^2 can also be cancelled out so you are left with \$\frac{5x-10}{10x}$

8. Sette Group Title

3x^2 can be canceled because you simplified it with 30x^3?

9. moneybird Group Title

yes

10. Sette Group Title

oh okay Thank YOu .

11. razor99 Group Title

$5(x-2)\over10x$$x-2\over2x$

13. Sette Group Title

razor i dont know how you got that .

I am assuming moneybird was correct and further simplified the final answer.

As shown I removed the common factor and placed it outside parenthesis. then divided numerator and denominator by the 5. getting the final answer

Yes Thank You. He is correct and your simplification was correct.
