Can someone please help me with some simple math?

Simplify: (2x+10) divided by (x+1) all divided by (x^2 + 4x-5) divided by (10x-10).

(20x^2 – 100) divided by (x^3 + 5x -4)

1 divided by 5(x+1)

20 divided by (x+1)

12x divided by (x^2 +5x – 4)

* I get it down to 20x2+80x-100/ x3+5x2-x-5 and then I don't know what to do.

Find the slope of the following equation: 3x + 2y = 6

–3/2

2/3

3/2

-2/3

None of these

Please help!!!!

Update:

    I hope this is the problem

    (2x+10)/(x+1)

    ---------------------

    (x^2 + 4x-5)(10x-10).

    = (2x+10)/(x+1) X (10x-10)/(x^2 + 4x-5)

    =(2x+10)(10x-10) / (x+1)(x^2 + 4x-5)

    =(20x^2 -20x +100x -100) / (x^3 +x^2 +4x^2 +4x -5x -5)

    =(20x2+80x-100)/(x3+5x2-x-5)

    After this we will factorize num and denom

    =20(x^2+4x-5)/ (x-1)(x^2 +6x +5)

    = 20 (x+5)(x-1)/(x-1)((x+5)(x+1)

    =20/(x+1)

    slope 3x+2y =6

    2y = 6-3x

    y =3 -3/2x

    slope = m = -3/2
