Simplify the complex fraction

((3x-7)/x^2)/(x^2/2)+(2/x)

I really need steps on how to do this properly cause I really can't figure it out

Answer:

[tex]\frac{6x-14}{x^{4} +4x}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

I have to [tex]\frac{\frac{3x-7}{x^{2} } }{\frac{x^{2} }{2}+\frac{2}{x}}[/tex]

Let's start by joining the macro denominator with a common denominator. So, by applying a minimum common multiple [tex]\frac{x^{2} }{2} +\frac{2}{x}=\frac{x^{3}+ 4 }{2x}[/tex]

Now I can write the expression as

[tex]\frac{\frac{3x-7}{x^{2}}}{\frac{x^{3}+ 4 }{2x}}[/tex]

Now to convert both fractions into one, I multiply the numerator of the one above by the denominator of the one below, and the denominator of the one above with the numerator below, remaining that way.

[tex]\frac{\frac{3x-7}{x^{2}}}{\frac{x^{3}+4}{2x}}=\frac{(3x-7)(2x)}{(x^{2})(x^{3}+ 4)}[/tex]

Having the fraction in this way, I could simplify the x of the "2x" of the numerator with an x^2 (x^2=x*x) of the denominator

[tex]\frac{(3x-7)(2x)}{(x^{2})(x^{3}+4)}=\frac{2(3x-7)}{x(x^{3}+ 4)}[/tex]

finally, applying distributive property, I have to

[tex]\frac{(6x-14)}{(x^{4}+ 4x)}[/tex]

Done
