Answer:

Explanation:

Hello, please consider the following.

We need to factorise as much as possible and eliminate the same term from numerator and denominator


((x^2-4x-5)/(x-2))/((2x-10)/(x^2-4))\\\\\\=((x^2-4x-5))/((x-2))((x-2)(x+2))/((2x-10))\\\\\\=((x-5)(x+1)(x+2))/((2x-10))\\\\\\\large \boxed{=((x+1)(x+2))/(2)}

Thank you
