Step-by-Step Solution

Let's write the exercise as a fraction:

5x23y×20x= \frac{5x^2}{3y\times20x}=

We'll factor the numerator of the fraction into a multiplication exercise:

5x×x3y×20x= \frac{5x\times x}{3y\times20x}=

Let's write the 20 in the denominator of the fraction as a smaller multiplication exercise:

5x×x3y×4×5x= \frac{5x\times x}{3y\times4\times5x}=

We'll cancel out the 5x in both the numerator and denominator of the fraction:

x3y×4= \frac{x}{3y\times4}=

Let's multiply the denominator of the fraction:

x12y \frac{x}{12y}

Answer

x12y \frac{x}{12y}
