Question

Perform the indicated operation and simplify the result. Leave your answer in factored form.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{x}{y} \frac{5x}{\frac{x^{2} -4}{\frac{8x}{x+2} } }\\\\=\frac{5x(x+2)}{8x(x^{2} -4)}\\\\=\frac{5(x+2)}{8(x+2)(x-2)}\\\\=\frac{5}{8(x-2)}\\\\=\frac{5}{8}.\frac{1}{x-2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{ \frac{5x}{ {x}^{2} - 4 } }{ \frac{8x}{x + 2} } = \frac{5x}{ {x}^{2} - 4 } \times \frac{x + 2}{8x} = \frac{5x + 10}{ {8x}^{2} - 32}$

hope it helps:)
