Simplify (3/(x+1))/(5/(x-1))

$\frac{\frac{3}{x + 1}}{\frac{5}{x - 1}}$

Step 1

Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.

$\frac{3}{x + 1} \cdot \frac{x - 1}{5}$

Step 2

Multiply $\frac{3}{x + 1}$ by $\frac{x - 1}{5}$ .

$\frac{3 (x - 1)}{(x + 1) \cdot 5}$

Step 3

Move $5$ to the left of $x + 1$ .

$\frac{3 (x - 1)}{5 (x + 1)}$
