#2 simplify the expression (ignore the writing next to it) this is a review of a basic precalc algebra concept but im drawing a blank. i have the answer so i can let you know if you’re correct

You have the right idea that things need to get multiplied.

What should be done is that the entire fraction needs to get multipled by the lowest common denominator of both denominators.

Let's look at the complex numerator. Its denominators are 5 and x + 6. Nothing is common with these, so both pieces are needed.

The complex denominator has x - 3 as its denominator. With nothing in common between it and the complex numerator, that piece is needed.

So we multiply the entire complex fraction by (5)(x + 6)(x -3).

Numerator:

= (x+6)(x-3) - (5)(5)(x-3)

= (x+6)(x-3) - 25(x-3)

= (x-3)(x + 6 - 25) <--- by group factoring the common x - 3

= (x -3)(x - 19)

Denominator:

Now we put the pieces together.

Our fraction simplies to (x - 3) (x - 19) / 125 (x + 6)

"image"

step-by-step explanation:

in most of these problems, the notation is that the point with a "prime" is the image of the point without. that is, b' is the image of b.

here, there is no dilation or reflection. there is simply translation (with no direction shown). which figure you call the "preimage" and which one you call the "image" is up to you. as a matter of convention, the naming is as described above.
