We're trying to evaluate a fractional expression here:
\frac{2x + 2}{x -4} * \frac{3x - 12}{x^{2} + 6x + 5}

The first thing to do, is factor everything we can. The quadratic factors to (x + 1)(x+5) and the expression above that factors to 3(x - 4). 2x + 2 factors to 2(x + 1).
\frac{2(x + 1)}{x -4} * \frac{3(x - 4)}{(x+1)(x+5)}

It looks a little complicated now, but if we combine the two we can cancel some stuff.

\frac{2(x + 1) * 3(x - 4)}{(x -4)(x+1)(x+5)}

Still looking complicated, but look, we have (x+1) and (x+4) on the top and the bottom, that means they don't matter and we can get rid of them:

\frac{2 * 3}{x+5} = \frac{6}{x+5}

Tada! The area is 6/(x+5). We'd need to know x to go any further!

Need any more explanation?

Consider the numbers 4 and √5. Which operation(s) will result in an irrational number?
tekilochka [14]

Answer: D (both the sum and the product).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's add: 4 + sqrt5 will still seem irrational.

Let's multiply: 4*sqrt5 = 4sqrt5, which is irrational.

Please help meeeee will mark them brain​<br><br><br><br>from biggest to smallest
jonny [76]
It’s easier if you turn the fractions into decimals and arrange them in order from biggest to smallest. 3/4= 0.75, 5/6= 0.83, 7/9= 0.77, 1/2= 0.5, 2/3= 0.66, 7/12= .583, 15/24= 0.625. Then obviously, you order them from biggest to smallest:
0.83 (5/6), 0.77 (7/9), 0.75 (3/4), 0.66 (2/3), 0.583 (7/12), 0.5 (1/2).
