Question

Which term can be cancelled out of the expression​

Answer 1

x+3

Explanation:

If you factor 5 out of the denominator of the first expression, 5x+15 turns into 5(x+3).

Then, since you have x+3 in the numerator and denominator, it will cancel out.

The steps are shown below:

`(7x)/(5x+15) *(x+3)/(8) \\\\=(7x)/(5(x+3)) *(x+3)/(8) \\\\=(7x)/(5) *(1)/(8) \\\\=(7x)/(40)\\`
