Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Start by writing the expression clearly: \(\frac{6x+9}{3x-15} \cdot \frac{x-5}{4x+6}\).
Factor all polynomials in the numerators and denominators where possible. For example, factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from each: \(6x+9 = 3(2x+3)\), \(3x-15 = 3(x-5)\), and \(4x+6 = 2(2x+3)\).
Rewrite the expression using the factored forms: \(\frac{3(2x+3)}{3(x-5)} \cdot \frac{x-5}{2(2x+3)}\).
Look for common factors in the numerators and denominators across the entire expression that can be canceled out. Cancel these common factors to simplify the expression.
After canceling, multiply the remaining numerators together and the remaining denominators together to write the simplified product as a single fraction.

Factoring Polynomials
Factoring involves rewriting polynomials as products of simpler expressions. This is essential for simplifying rational expressions by canceling common factors. For example, 6x + 9 can be factored as 3(2x + 3), and 3x - 15 as 3(x - 5).
