Question
(2x(squared)+5x-3 over x+2) times (9x+18 over 1-2x): the expression written out:  (Fraction)Two x squared plus five x minus three all over x plus two....times ( fraction ) nine x plus 18 all over one minus two x  

Answer
((2x^2 + 5x - 3)/(x + 2)) * ((9x + 18)/(1 - 2x))
((2x^2 + 5x - 3)(9x + 18))/((x + 2)(-2x + 1))
(((2x - 1)(x + 3)(9(x + 2)))/(-(x + 2)(2x - 1))
(9(x + 2)(2x - 1)(x + 3))/(-1)

the (x + 2)(2x - 1) ancel out, leaving you with

(9(x + 3))/(-1)

-9(x + 3)

-9x - 27

ANS : (-9x - 27)
