Try another version of this question Simplify the following expression:
Box 1: Enter your answer as an expression. Example: 3x^2+1, x/5, (a+b)/c
Start by factoring both the numerator and the denominator of the expression. Look for factors that are common in both the numerator and the denominator, as these can be cancelled out to simplify the expression
Be sure your variables match those in the question `((x+7)(x+5))/(x(x+5)(x-8)) = (x+7)/(x(x-8))`
