Algebra 2 simplify problem?
Simplify.
x^2 - 3x divided by x^2 - 25 times x^2 + 4x - 5 divided by x^2 - 4x + 3
A. -1/5
B. x divided by x - 5
C. x divided by x + 5
D. x(x + 3) divided by (x + 5)(x - 3)

A. -1/5
B. x divided by x - 5
C. x divided by x + 5
D. x(x + 3) divided by (x + 5)(x - 3)
Comments
(x^2-3x)/(x^2-25) * (x^2+4x-5)/(x^2-4x+3) =
x(x-3)/(x-5)(x+5) * (x-1)(x+5)/(x-3)(x-1) =
x/(x-5) * (x-1)/(x-1) =
x/(x-5)
Best of luck!
