Question
Multiply and simplify. See Example 6$$\frac{4 a^{2}-8 a}{a b-2 b+3 a-6} \cdot \frac{8 b+24}{3 a+6}$$
Step 1
For the first fraction, we can factor out a 4a from the numerator to get $4a(a-2)$. For the second fraction, we can factor out an 8 from the numerator to get $8(b+3)$ and a 3 from the denominator to get $3(a+2)$. So, the expression Show more…
