Answer:

(8x)/(x-5) which is option D

Step-by-step explanation:
When multiplying fraction, we multiply the numerators by each other and the denominators by each other to get the final answer.

The given expression is:

(x+2)/(x-5) * (8x)/(x+2)

1- we multiply the numerators by each other and the denominators by each other. This will give us:

((x+2)(8x))/((x-5)(x+2))

2- We can note that there is (x+2) common on both the numerator and the denominator. Therefore, we will cross out this factor from both numerator and denominator. This will give us:

(8x)/(x-5)

Since no further simplification can be done, therefore, our final answer would be
(8x)/(x-5)

Hope this helps :)
