(x^(2)+x-6)/(x+3)
In this problem 3*-2=-6 and 3-2=1, so insert 3 as the right hand term of one factor and -2 as the right-hand term of the other factor.
((x+3)(x-2))/(x+3)
Reduce the expression by canceling out the common factor of (x+3) from the numerator and denominator.
((x+3)(x-2))/((x+3))
Reduce the expression by canceling out the common factor of (x+3) from the numerator and denominator.
(x-2)
Remove the parentheses around the expression x-2.
x-2
