Answer:

Part A: step 3

Part B: incorrect multiplication of brackets

Part C: (x² + 4x + 4)/(x² + 4x - 5)

Explanation:

First error in step 3, while multiplying the brackets

(x+2)(x+2)/[(x+5)(x-1)]

(x² + 2x + 2x + 4)/(x² + 5x - x - 5)

(x² + 4x + 4)/(x² + 4x - 5)

Answer:

Part A: step 3

Part B:Nicolette multiplication of (x+2)

(x+2) was wrong

Part C:the correct product is

(x^2+4x+4)/(x^2+4x-5)

Explanation:

(x+2)/(x+5) x (x+2)/(x-1)

Multiply both equations

((x+2)(x+2))/((x+5)(x-1))

(x^2+2x+2x+4)/(x^2-x+5x-5)

(x^2+4x+4)/(x^2+4x-5) final solution
