First you cancel 7 and 28, and 3 and 9, so that leaves you with 4/3 x 15/17, then you cancel 3 and 15 so you get 4x5/17 which should give you 20/17!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Invert and multiply the second fraction.

$\frac{x^2 - 2x}{x^2 - 10x + 25} *\frac{x^2 - 25}{6x^2 - 12x}$

All 4 parts of the two fractions can be factored into simpler factors.

$\frac{x(x - 2)}{(x - 5)(x - 5)} * \frac{(x + 5)(x - 5)}{6(x - 2)}$

Numerous cancelations can occur

(x - 5) [top right with x - 5 bottom left]
(x - 2) [top left with x - 2 bottom right]

Answer

$\frac{x}{(x -5)} * \frac{(x + 5)}{6}$
