Problem 4
Question
Multiply as indicated. $$\frac{x}{5} \cdot \frac{30}{x-4}$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The answer is \(\frac{30x}{5*(x-4)}\).
1Step 1: Multiply the Numerators
First, the numerators \(x\) and \(30\) are multiplied together to get \(30x\).
2Step 2: Multiply the Denominators
Next, multiply the denominators. \(5 \times (x-4)\).
3Step 3: Simplify the Fraction
We try to simplify where possible but in this case, there are no common factors in the numerator and denominator, so the fraction can't be simplified any further.
