Find Common Denominator: Step 1: Simplify the complex fraction by finding a common denominator for the smaller fractions in the denominator of the main fraction.5x2−3x2−2x3−3−5x4Common denominator = 2x(5x2−3x)(3−5x)
Rewrite Fractions: Step 2: Rewrite each fraction over the common denominator.(2)(2x)(3−5x)/[2x(5x2−3x)(3−5x)]−(3)(5x2−3x)(3−5x)/[2x(5x2−3x)(3−5x)]−(4)(2x)(5x2−3x)/[2x(5x2−3x)(3−5x)]
Combine Numerators: Step 3: Combine the numerators over the common denominator. 2x(5x2−3x)(3−5x)4x(3−5x)−3(5x2−3x)(3−5x)−8x(5x2−3x)
Simplify Numerator: Step 4: Simplify the numerator.4x(3−5x)−3(5x2−3x)(3−5x)−8x(5x2−3x)= 12x−20x2−45x3+27x2+40x3−24x2= −5x3+3x2+12x
Place Over Common Denominator: Step 5: Place the simplified numerator over the common denominator.(−5x3+3x2+12x)/[2x(5x2−3x)(3−5x)]
Simplify Main Fraction: Step 6: Simplify the main fraction by dividing the numerator of the main fraction by the denominator expression we just simplified.(\(7x^2 - 13x) / [(−5x^3 + 3x^2 + 12x) / (2x(5x^2−3x)(3−5x))] = (7x^2 - 13x) * [2x(5x^2−3x)(3−5x) / (−5x^3 + 3x^2 + 12x)]
Cancel Common Factors: Step 7: Cancel out common factors and simplify.=(7x2−13x)⋅[−5x3+3x2+12x2x(5x2−3x)(3−5x)]=(7x−13)⋅[−5x+3+122(5x2−3x)(3−5x)]=(7x−13)⋅[−5x+152(5x2−3x)(3−5x)]
