Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given expression can be simplified by factoring both the numerator and the denominator. The numerator is already in its simplest form, $4x + 2$, which can be factored as $2(2x + 1)$. The denominator, $20x^2 + 26x + 8$, can be factored as $2(10x^2 + 13x + 4)$, and further factored into $2(5x + 4)(2x + 1)$. Simplifying, we get $\frac{2(2x + 1)}{2(5x + 4)(2x + 1)}$, and after canceling out $2(2x + 1)$, we are left with $\frac{1}{5x + 4}$.
