M2+2M-24

M2-3M

Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Assume the problem is:

:
You should be able to recognize you can factor M^2 + 2M - 24,
See factors of 24 that have difference of +2, therefore the larger is positive
Now in the denominator, you can factor out M

But that is about all you can do with it
