(r^2+7r+10)/3 * (3r-30)/(r^2-5r-50)

How can i Factorize each expression

to end up with (r+5)(r+2)/3 * 3(r-10)/((r-10)(r+5)

can you explain.

(r+5)(r+2)(3)(r-10)/[ 3(r-10)(r+5)]

r+5 cancels
3 cancels
r-10 cancels
so
= (r+2)
Answered by Cas
I know that they cancel but what i want to know its how did this expression
(r^2+7r+10)/3 * (3r-30)/(r^2-5r-50)

became this (r+5)(r+2)/3 * 3(r-10)/((r-10)(r+5)

like the first expression had a 7r where is that in the second.
Answered by drwls
The 7r term disappears in the factoring process.

The second order polynomials in the numerator and denominator were both factored by Damon. You may need to review the factoring process; it is an important part of algebra. You can multiply the two monomial factors back together to verify that
(r-10)(r+5) = r^2 -5r -50,
for example.
