Answer

$\dfrac{5}{3x}$

Work Step by Step

The given expression, $ \dfrac{2x^3+16}{6x^2+12x}\cdot\dfrac{5}{x^2-2x+4} ,$ simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{2(x^3+8)}{6x(x+2)}\cdot\dfrac{5}{x^2-2x+4} \\\\= \dfrac{2(x+2)(x^2-2x+4)}{6x(x+2)}\cdot\dfrac{5}{x^2-2x+4} \\\\= \dfrac{\cancel{2}(\cancel{x+2})(\cancel{x^2-2x+4})}{\cancel{2}\cdot3x(\cancel{x+2})}\cdot\dfrac{5}{\cancel{x^2-2x+4}} \\\\= \dfrac{5}{3x} .\end{array}
