Simplify (x-y)/x*(2x^2)/(y(y-x))

$\frac{x - y}{x} \cdot \frac{2 x^{2}}{y (y - x)}$

Step 1

Cancel the common factor of $x$ .

Factor $x$ out of $2 x^{2}$ .

$\frac{x - y}{x} \cdot \frac{x (2 x)}{y (y - x)}$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{x - y}{x} \cdot \frac{x (2 x)}{y (y - x)}$

Rewrite the expression.

$(x - y) \cdot \frac{2 x}{y (y - x)}$

$(x - y) \cdot \frac{2 x}{y (y - x)}$

Step 2

Multiply $x - y$ by $\frac{2 x}{y (y - x)}$ .

$\frac{(x - y) (2 x)}{y (y - x)}$

Step 3

Cancel the common factor of $x - y$ and $y - x$ .

Factor $- 1$ out of $x$ .

$\frac{(- 1 (- x) - y) (2 x)}{y (y - x)}$

Factor $- 1$ out of $- y$ .

$\frac{(- 1 (- x) - (y)) (2 x)}{y (y - x)}$

Factor $- 1$ out of $- 1 (- x) - (y)$ .

$\frac{- 1 (- x + y) (2 x)}{y (y - x)}$

Reorder terms.

$\frac{- 1 (- x + y) (2 x)}{y (- x + y)}$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 1 (- x + y) (2 x)}{y (- x + y)}$

Rewrite the expression.

$\frac{- 1 (2 x)}{y}$

$\frac{- 1 (2 x)}{y}$

Step 4

Simplify the expression.

Multiply $- 1$ by $2$ .

$\frac{- 2 x}{y}$

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$- \frac{2 x}{y}$

$- \frac{2 x}{y}$
