Answer:

4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by moving like terms to one side. Remember that when you change the side of a term, the sign flips.

-5x-2x=-3-1

-7x=-4

Divide both sides by -7

x=4/7

I think the answer is........

-5x+3=2x-1

-5x-2x=-1-3

-7x= -4

-7x/-7=-4/-7

x=4/7

Answer:

$f(x)=\dfrac{x+2}{2(x-2)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember when you divide fractions, you need to get the reciprocal of the divisor and multiply. So your first simplification would be:

$\dfrac{x^2+4x+4}{x^2-6x+8}\div\dfrac{6x+12}{3x-12}\\\\=\dfrac{x^2+4x+4}{x^2-6x+8}\times\dfrac{3x-12}{6x+12}\\\\=\dfrac{(x^2+4x+4)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6x+12)}$

Next we factor what we can so we can further simplify the rest of the equation:

$=\dfrac{(x^2+4x+4)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6x+12)}\\\\=\dfrac{(x+2)(x+2)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6(x+2))}\\\\$

We can now cancel out (x+2)

$=\dfrac{(x+2)(3x-12)}{(x^2-6x+8)(6)}$

Next we factor out even more:

$=\dfrac{(x+2)(3)(x-4)}{(x-2)(x-4)(6)}$

We cancel out x-4 and reduce the 3 and 6 into simpler terms:

$=\dfrac{(x+2)(1)}{(x-2)(2)}$

And we can now simplify it to:

$=\dfrac{x+2}{2(x-2)}$
