A question to practice simplifying fractions with the use of factorisation (for binomial and quadratic expressions).

Simplify the following algebraic expressions.

Factorise the numerator and denominator so that the binomials in both are the same.

\n

${\\big(\\frac{\\var{n1}x}{\\var{d1}}\\big)\\big(\\frac{\\var{a1}x+\\var{a2}}{\\var{a1}x+\\var{a2}}\\big)}$

\n

The binomials cancel, leaving $x$ and its coefficient:

\n

$\\big({\\simplify{{n1}/{d1}}}\\big)x$
