$\frac{3}{x - 1} \cdot \frac{8}{x - 1}$

Step 1

Multiply $\frac{3}{x - 1}$ by $\frac{8}{x - 1}$ .

$\frac{3 \cdot 8}{(x - 1) (x - 1)}$

Step 2

Multiply $3$ by $8$ .

$\frac{24}{(x - 1) (x - 1)}$

Step 3

Raise $x - 1$ to the power of $1$ .

$\frac{24}{{(x - 1)}^{1} (x - 1)}$

Step 4

Raise $x - 1$ to the power of $1$ .

$\frac{24}{{(x - 1)}^{1} {(x - 1)}^{1}}$

Step 5

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$\frac{24}{{(x - 1)}^{1 + 1}}$

Step 6

Add $1$ and $1$ .

$\frac{24}{{(x - 1)}^{2}}$
