Simplify 2x^(2) +10x\ x^(2)+2x-15 Its a fraction

Question

Simplify
`2x^(2) +10x\ x^(2)+2x-15`

Its a fraction

Answer 1

Answer:
`=(2x)/(x-3)`

Explanation:

`(2x^(2) +10x)/(x^(2) + 2x-15)` >Take out GCF(greatest common factor) on top

>factor the bottom, find 2 numbers that mulitply to

"c" term, -15 and adds to the "b" term, +2

>+5 and -3 mulitpy to -15 and add to +2

> put +5 and -3 into factored form on bottom

`=(2x(x+5))/((x-3)(x+5))` >reduce the x+5 on top and bottom

`=(2x)/(x-3)` >This is simplified
