Answer

$C$

Work Step by Step

Factor each polynomial completely: $\dfrac{x}{(x - 3)(x + 1)} \cdot \dfrac{2(x - 3)}{(x - 3)(x - 1)}$ Cancel the common factors in the numerator and denominator: $\require{cancel} =\dfrac{x}{\cancel{(x - 3)}(x + 1)} \cdot \dfrac{2\cancel{(x - 3)}}{(x - 3)(x - 1)}$ $=\dfrac{2x}{(x + 1)(x - 1)(x - 3)}$ This answer corresponds to option $C$.
