2x/4x+2 x 14 x+7/6 is unclear. Do you mean 2/4x, or do you mean 2x
-------- ??
4x+2
Use parentheses to make things clearer.
I will assume that you meant to write
2x
--------- * 14x + 7/6
4x + 2
but am very much unsure if this is correct or not.
Perhaps you meant
2x/(4x+2) times 14(x+7/6)
This comes out as follows:
2x * 14 (x + 7/6) 28x(x + 7/6) 14x(x + 7/6)
------------------------ = ------------------- = --------------------
4x+2 2(2x + 1) 2x + 1 after reduction.
Performing the multiplication, we get 14x^2 + 98/6
--------------------
2x+1
It appears that you're using "x" both as a variable name and as the "multiply" operator. If so, please don't! Use " * " to indicate multiplication.
Please take and share a screen shot of this problem.
