Answer

20(x2−3y2)2x−y\frac{20(x^2 - 3y^2)}{2x - y}

Step-by-step solution

5 steps

here's the solution to the problem.

3x2−9y2xy×20xy6x−3y\frac{3x^2 - 9y^2}{xy} \times \frac{20xy}{6x - 3y}
  1. Factor the numerator of the first fraction and the denominator of the second fraction.

    Factor out the common factor from 3x2−9y23x^2 - 9y^2:

    3x2−9y2=3(x2−3y2)3x^2 - 9y^2 = 3(x^2 - 3y^2)

    Factor out the common factor from 6x−3y6x - 3y:

    6x−3y=3(2x−y)6x - 3y = 3(2x - y)
  2. Substitute the factored expressions back into the original problem.

    3(x2−3y2)xy×20xy3(2x−y)\frac{3(x^2 - 3y^2)}{xy} \times \frac{20xy}{3(2x - y)}
  3. Multiply the numerators and the denominators.

    3(x2−3y2)⋅20xyxy⋅3(2x−y)\frac{3(x^2 - 3y^2) \cdot 20xy}{xy \cdot 3(2x - y)}
  4. Cancel out common factors from the numerator and denominator.

    The common factors are 3 and xyxy.

    3(x2−3y2)⋅20xyxy⋅3(2x−y)\frac{\cancel{3}(x^2 - 3y^2) \cdot 20\cancel{xy}}{\cancel{xy} \cdot \cancel{3}(2x - y)}
  5. Write the simplified expression.

    20(x2−3y2)2x−y\frac{20(x^2 - 3y^2)}{2x - y}
