Question
Multiply or divide as indicated. Simplify all answers.$$\frac{a c-a d+b c-b d}{a c+a d+b c+b d} \cdot \frac{p c+p d-q c-q d}{p c-p d+q c-q d}$$
Step 1
First, we can factor out the common terms in each expression: $$ \frac{(a-b)(c-d)}{(a+b)(c+d)} \cdot \frac{(p+q)(c-d)}{(p-q)(c+d)} $$ Now, we can cancel out the common factors $(c-d)$ and $(c+d)$: Show more…
