STEP 1: Factor the numerator and denominator completely. The numerator can be factored out to {eq}(x-3)(x+5) {/eq} and the denominator can be factored to {eq}4(x+5) {/eq}. {eq}=\frac{(x-3)(x+5)}{4(x+5)} {/eq} ...
For example, in the multiplication problem 83⋅72, the Partial Products algorithm can be used to find the product of these two-digit numbers. Step 1: Break the two factors up into their place values. Step 2: Multiply the tens-place number from the first factor with the tens-place ...
