1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

[tex]\frac{5(y-2)}{y+1}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{y+1}{10}[/tex]

2. Relevant equations



3. The attempt at a solution

Does this equal 5(y-2)(y+1)/10(y+1) ? Or are there no brackets on that first y+1 ?

Kurdt

It would be equal to what you have. You can simplify it as well.
