Before we actually try to divide, let's see if this fraction will reduce. Reducing a fraction involves canceling common factors between the numerator and denominator. And to cancel common factors, we need to know what the factors are. So we start by factoring:

We can now see that (x+5) is a factor which is common to the numerator and denominator. We can cancel them:

leaving:

And dividing by 1 is the easiest division of all! This simplifies to:
2x-7
