Absolutely correct!

Original equation:
(3x - 30) / (x² - 4x) multiplied by 8x / (10 - x)

Factor out a common 3 and common x:
3 (x - 10) / x (x - 4) multiplied by 8x / (10 - x)

Now reverse the (x-10) by multiplying by -1:
-3 (10 - x) / x (x - 4) multiplied by 8x / (10 - x)

Now when you multiply across, you can cancel an x and (10 - x):
-3 / (x - 4) multiplied by 8

Now it is simply:
-24 / (x - 4)

So you have the right answer... (you could also write this as 24 / (4-x) )

(3x-30)/(x²-4x) * 8x/(10-x) = (8x)(3x-30) / (x²-4x)(10-x)
= 24x(x-10) / -x(x-4)(x-10)
factor out x and (x-10)
= -24 / (x-4)
Looks good.

=(-3)*8x / (x^2-4x) = -24x/x(x-24) = -24/(x-4)
so it's correct ;)
