Studdy Solution
Factor the expression m225 m^2 - 25 as it is a difference of squares:
m225=(m5)(m+5) m^2 - 25 = (m - 5)(m + 5)
So the expression becomes:
2m+10(m5)(m+5) \frac{2m + 10}{(m - 5)(m + 5)}
Factor out the common factor in the numerator:
2m+10=2(m+5) 2m + 10 = 2(m + 5)
Thus, the expression simplifies to:
2(m+5)(m5)(m+5) \frac{2(m + 5)}{(m - 5)(m + 5)}
Cancel the common factor (m+5) (m + 5) :
=2m5 = \frac{2}{m - 5}
The simplified numerator is: 2 2
The simplified denominator is: m5 m - 5
